Featured Cheese - March 2016

We love Farmhouse Cheddar for its, buttery, nutty, cheddary richness, without the slightest hint of bitterness or bite. The aroma of authentic farmhouse cheddar should be nutty or grassy, with a rich texture and complex flavors ranging from fruity to a woody oakiness. The color of the cheese should range from straw yellow to beige, and the texture should be open with a few cracks… rather than rubbery and dense, which indicates factory processing. You’ll know great cheddar if you can still taste the sweet nuttiness several minutes after you have finished your first mouthful.

Point Reyes Original Blue is all natural and made with raw cow milk, as well as being Kosher-certified, gluten-free, and made with microbial (vegetarian) rennet. Even if you’re not a fan of blue cheeses, Point Reyes Original Blue’s sweet, buttery and fresh milk flavor will sure win you over. Being a versatile cheese, it’s great crumbled in salads, added to sauces and dips, and will be amazing on your cheese board.
