Caprese Salad


Fiore di Latte cheese is one of my new favorite finds from Bailey's Local Foods.  The distributor for this cheese is in Ingersoll called Local Dairy.  I discovered last night while preparing this delicious salad that it is manufactured on Mulock Street in Toronto.  Our last place in Toronto was on Mulock and there is an amazing cheese factory kiddie corner from our house.  We lived on a strange street.  It was where industry met residential.  From what we could gather our street was where the labourers from all the different slaughter houses in the area used to live. The slaughter houses are no longer there.  They have been gone for many years.  The whole area has been built up.  It was just beginning when we left.  We went by there the last time we were in the city.  It is amazing how many homes there are now.
