Style: Aged Cheese, Mimolette. Origin: 5 Spoke Creamery, Goshen NY, USA. Milk: Unpasteurized Cow's. A rich, round, raw milk cheese, with a moonscape-like outer rind and inside the orange hue of autumnal leaves; a local homage to Mimolette with the characteristics of butterscotch notes that become more pronounced with age
Blackbert Ash Camembert
Style: Ash Aged Camembert, Bloomy Rind, Soft Ripen. Origin: R&G Cheesemakers, Troy, NY, USA. Milk: Pasteurized Goat's. R&G Goat's Milk Camembert are small wheels of Camembert made in Cohoes, NY, by master cheesemaker Sean O'Conner with milk from local farms in Saratoga County. This soft goat's milk camembert is aged with ashes to offer a tangy jewel with a bloomy rind and a buttery finish
Barley Buzzed
Style: Semi-Hard, Flavored Cheddar. Origin: Beehive Cheese, Ogden, Utah, USA. Milk: Pasteurized Cow's. Semi-Hard, Jersey cow's milk cheese that is hand-rubbed with the Turkish coffee grind of the Beehive Blend from the Colorado Legacy Coffee Company. French Superior Lavender buds are ground together with the coffee and the mixture is diluted with oil to create the exterior rub. It imparts notes of butterscotch and caramel to create a full-bodied cheese with a nutty flavor. 1st place winner, American Cheese Society Awards, 4 times between 2007 and 2011
Great Hill Blue
Style: Blue Veined, Raw Cow's Milk, Aged 2-3 months. Origin: Great Hill Creamery, Buzzard Bay, MA, USA. Milk: Unpasteurized Cow's. Great Hill Blue is an internally ripened variety of blue cheese made in turn-of-the-century barns using raw, unhomogenized milk. The result is a complex tasting, salty blue, with both acidic and buttery notes and an underlying toastiness. This rindless cheese has a slightly more dense and yellow curd as no bleach or food colorings are added
*Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, eggs, or unpasteurized milk may increase your risk of foodborne illness
