A traditional creamery cheese, Gorgonzola imparts a sharp, spicy flavor, the blue-green ripples providing an excellent contrast to the rich, creamy cheese. The taste ranges from mild to sharp, depending on age.

Red, White & Blue is a semi-soft blue cheese made from raw cow’s milk and aged three to four months prior to release. Blue cheese styles include dolce (sweet) or piquant, and this blue falls into the latter camp, a refreshing surprise and deliciously spicy delight. It is both luxuriously creamy and clean on the palate. As soon as the paste touches one’s tongue, it almost seems to evaporate, yet the layers of flavor linger longingly after.

Sweet Grass Dairy produces six core cheeses and we are fortunate to offer the Thomasville Tomme as one of this month’s selections. Their version of a French Pyrenées Mountains farmhouse Tomme is a semi-soft, grass-based, raw cows’ milk cheese that is aged for 60 to 90 days. Reflective of its southern Georgia terroir, this cheese shows subtle earthy and grassy notes, as well as a creamy texture on the palate.

Tulip Tree’s Nettle, a 2016 American Cheese Society Winner, is a delicate, crumbly, and bovre-style fresh cheese similar in style to a chèvre but made with pasteurized cows’ milk using microbial rennet that is vegetarian-friendly. The cheese is covered in fresh mint, sage, and nettle leaves, which makes for a savory, yet clean, bright, and lactic flavor profile. It is an ideal cheese to bring along on a picnic because it is so versatile.
