Featured Cheeses
Abbaye de Belloc
Abbaye de Bel'loc is still made in the traditional manner by Benedictine Monks at the abbey of Notre-Dame de Belloc. A French Pyrenees sheep's milk cheese, Abbaye has a fine, dense texture and is high in fat. The milk comes from the red-nosed Manech ewes (an old local breed) whose milk is brought into the monastery from neighboring farms. Abbaye de Belloc has a true Basque character, and it is believed that many centuries ago the monks from the Belloc Monastery first taught the Basque shepherds how to make cheese. Proper care in the right maturing conditions will accentuate the rich, caramelized flavors that make this cheese so addictive.
- (per pound) $26.00
Bethmale
Produced in the village of the same name, Bethmale, also sometimes known as Tomme de Couserans, is the best known of the traditional cow's milk cheeses from the Pyrénées. The texture of Bethmale is semisoft, supple and yielding, and cheeses are covered with a dense beige rind. The interior paste varies from ivory-white through to buttery-yellow depending on the season, and is dotted with small holes and slits. Aromas are pleasantly pungent, smelling of damp cellar and earth. Flavors are mild, very rich, milky and buttery with notes of grass, wood and mushrooms.

Edel de Cleron
For Vacherin lovers, l'Edel de Cleron is the next best thing. Produced in the same part of Eastern France, the French-Comte. Edel de Cleron is a luscious cow's milk cheese, wrapped with a strip of spruce bark around their perimeter to support the cheese, which is runny when ripe. L'Edel de Cleron, sometimes called faux Vacherin, is a made with pasteurized cow's milk, and has a Camembert-like bloomy rind when young. As it ripens, some tan molds may colonize the surface. The surface should give with gentle pressure, and it has a characteristic earthy, mushroomy aroma.

Keen's Cheddar
The Keen family have been making cheese at Moorhayes Farm, Wincanton in Somerset since 1898 when the family first moved there. George and Stephen Keen's great aunt Jane was thir first cheesemaker before cheesemaking passed down the family to their mother Dorothy. Today George makes cheese with his son James while Stephen and son Nick look after the herd. 'We make just one variety, but we do it really well,' says Stephen Keen. 'All the milk comes from our own herd of 250 Friesians, so we can make sure they are well fed and cared for. When customers buy our cheese they know it is made by hand with individual care and matured for at least ten months on wooden shelves before it goes into the stores.' Smooth and firm textured with long, complex, rich, nutty flavours and a tangy bite at the end.

Le Marechal
Le Marechal is a raw cow's milk cheese produced in small batches in the town of Corcelles-aux-Payernes, Switzerland. Aged for 5 months, at the beginning of the third month the cheese is rubbed with Herbes de Provence (a blend of thyme, oregano and other country herbs) giving it a beautiful appearance and spicy flavor. The texture of this farmhouse cheese is that of a Gruyere-style cheese, firm and dense. Its exceptional flavor is herbaceous and nutty with great depth.

Queso Lenora
From the San Francisco Chronicle's description of this newly arrived Spanish cheese: "Named for León, its home region in Northern Spain, Leonora is a new goat cheese from a small farmstead producer who is just beginning to export to the United States....Made with pasteurized milk from the cheesemaker's own herd, the roughly 4-pound Leonora resembles a large flattened log, or brick, with slightly flared sides. The natural rind exhibits plentiful white and gray mold, producing a coat that looks like the bark of a birch tree."

Stichelton Blue
Stichelton is one of very few unpasteurised English blue cheeses. It is made by Joe Schneider using organic, unpasteurised cows milk from Collingthwaite Farm on the Welbeck Estate.

The layers of flavours expand and develop in your mouth as you eat and last long after swallowing.

Correggia Roero Arneis, 2012
The late Matteo Correggia helped put the "left bank" of the Tanaro river in Piedmont on the vinous map.Long overshadowed by the "Langhe" region across the river, home to long lived Barolos and Barbarescos as well as Dolcettos and Barberas, the Roero, as the left bank is called, had an often deserved reputation for slurpable but forgettable wines. Correggia and a handful of other producers believed that the sandy soils of the Roero were capable of more. This Roero Arneis shows that the region deserves its place on the map. Bright, fresh fruit, with hints of almonds. Well suited to fish dishes, appetizers, au gratin vegetables and fresh cheeses.

Selvapiana Chianti Rufina, 2010
Selvapiana launched Pastaworks pursuit of all (wine) things Italian. A local restaurant welcomed us to the neighborhood with a bottle of 1977 Selvapiana Riserva. We discarded what few wines we had from California (we have added some since) and began our love affair with Italian wines. Much has changed at Selvapiana since that fateful first taste---the riserva bottling is now a single vineyard wine, Bucerchiale---but the quality and consistency of the estate's wines continue. This is till our house Chianti of choice!
