It might seem odd to associate a term from art history with a blood sausage, yet this poetic description is entirely fitting.

MICHELIN Guide Malta: “Living room cheeses” and farmhouse cheeses in Malta
Home-made cheeses, or perhaps we could even call them living room cheeses… Chances are you have never heard this term. Yet, like garage wines, this coinage accurately captures the essence of a unique category of Maltese cheeses insofar as the meticulous artisanal processes that give them their distinctive flavours and shapes take place in tiny living rooms. Alongside authentic farmhouse cheeses, they imbue Maltese artisanal cheesemaking with a distinct energy of its own.
