the popularity of the festival, which this year will be held for the fifth time, it is best to say the facts. Take, for example, the geography of the participants – last year at a tasting in Dubrovskoe their products brought about 300 farmers from 44 regions of the country. For the participants this time a pass to the Mall will be a negative test for coronavirus, guests mandatory gloves and masks. The festival added an extra day so as not to create pandemonium. But not to carry out appeared to be impossible – those wishing to come too much.

They need support,” explains the organizer of the festival, Istra cheesemaker Oleg Orphan. “Waiting preparing”, confirms farmer Tula and Vladimir Ivliev, who cooks, not afraid of the word, the great Gorgonzola.

The decree is long gone, and “the Crazy Empress” cheese, matured in wine, still pleases and family Maksimenko, and the inhabitants of three surrounding villages, yet tasted a farm product. Mila and Constantine Galanova of the Leningrad region, his cheese factory opened, bored for sanctions varieties that became available after the imposition of sanctions. Thought, but it turned out that there are a lot of cheese lovers. According to numerous requests from the guests to the participation of Russian winemakers. After all, good cheese needs a SIP of good wine, right? And Oleg Sirota has promised that will personally see to it that the counters were farmers. “Dealers that have bought somewhere and brought in Dubrovskoe to sell, will not” – he said.
