Straws for St. Maure de Tourraine?

[amiriliano]

Anyone know where I can get those hollow rye straws you slide into St. Maures?

Thanks!

I assume you've already tried cheese supply houses, without success?  I'm planning to just get a long dead stem of grass from the yard, or pinch one out of a bale of hay, when I get around to the St. Maure.  A lot of lawn grass is rye.  Sanitizing it in boiling water first might be a good idea.
