Fontina Val d'Aosta

Drunken Goat

Country: Spain
Cheese Texture/Type: Firm
Cheese Milk Type: Goat
Cheese Age: 3 months

This amazing goat cheese is made in the village of Jumilla in the Murcia region of Spain, which is on the southeastern coast. It is most unusual, and in fact it is very difficult to find. The name Drunken Goat conjures up images of goats weaving about the pasture… perhaps even snoozing on their backs with their hooves pointed to the blue sky. But just in case you were wondering… wine, beer, or any other form of spirits are not fed to the goats. Rather the cheese is soaked in wine. The flavor begins as mild and sooo creamy, but finishes with a wonderful tangy sweetness and a fruity, lusciously, grapey aroma.

Fontina Val d'Aosta

Country: Italy
Cheese Texture/Type: Semi-firm
Cheese Milk Type: Cow
Cheese Age: 3+ months

Fontina has enough flavors on its own to summarize the characteristics of the entire Itailan region of Valle d’Aosta. Fontina is dense, smooth and slightly elastic. The straw-colored interior, with its small, round holes, has a delicate nuttiness with a hint of mild honey. This supple cheese’s flavor hints of pristine forest floors, then shifts to a lovely yet powerful lingering scent of wild mushrooms.

Milton Creamery Prairie Breeze™

Country: United States
Cheese Texture/Type: Firm
Cheese Milk Type: Cow
Cheese Age: 9 months

Based in Southeast Iowa, Milton Creamery was started in 2006 as a joint venture by the Musser Family and local Amish dairy farmers. Today the creamery is solely owned and operated by the Musser Family with the addition of a couple of outside employees. Soon after opening, 17 year old Galen Musser submitted his take on cheddar, Prairie Breeze, and won Best of Class in the Open Hard category at the U.S. Cheese Championship which is one of many awards. Sweeter than most cheddars, this well aged cheddar is loaded with flavor with the added crunch of calcium crystals developed during the aging process.
