ALLY CHANG
I love eating cheese, but I love talking to people about cheese even more. I graduated from Chef School in 2005 and in 2008 I joined Provincial Fine Foods as their Sales Director. My true love affair with cheese began. Working for a successful distributor of Canadian Artisanal cheese was the best schooling available. I had the opportunity to work with retailers such as McEwan Fine Foods, Pusateri’s Fine Foods, Loblaws and many more. I have met the cheese makers, executed cheese tastings, and educated people about cheese. What a thrill! Over the past few years I have travelled to Italy to witness Parmigiano- Reggiano being made. I have also seen the huge caves that house Gruyere in Switzerland and frolicked with the sheep in New Zealand.Each trip has opened my eyes to the importance of cheese in the world. I am happy to be doing what I love to do…eating cheese, talking cheese, dreaming cheese…
