Tennis ace buys world's supply of donkey cheese

12/11/2012

It could be the ultimate Christmas snack, oozing straight out of a nativity scene and onto your party's cheese plate. Donkey milk cheese is (who knew?) a delicacy, compared in taste and texture to the better-known Spanish manchego, but costing a whopping $643 per pound. And this cheese, known as pule, is about to get even more difficult to purchase as tennis star Novak Djokovic has snapped up the entire 2013 output of the Serbian ass dairy farm which produces it. Why? He's opening a chain of restaurants and wants the cheese to be a star attraction. Prediction for New Year: Donkey sales skyrocket. [Source]
