Ratatouille dvd tribute sculpted in cheese

There aren’t many people who can call themselves a ‘cheese sculptor’.

But Troy Landwehr, from Wisconsin in the US, can claim to be an expert in the field, with his creations including dairy-based versions of the Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore.

He was in Docklands for his latest designs, to promote the launch of Disney/Pixar’s Ratatouille on DVD.
Troy was carving ‘Remy the rat’ – the star of the film who dreams of becoming a gourmet chef in a famous Parisian restaurant – out of a 40lb block of cheddar cheese in front of customers at ASDA in East Ferry Road, Isle of Dogs.

The cheese-master, who has appeared on the David Letterman show, was also creating special cheddar mini hearts for shoppers to mark the event on Valentine’s Day.
