Misty Creek, Raw Cow Beer Tomme (PA) / Temptin (Germany)Beer + Cheese, together forever…
Both of these cheeses deliver their own punches. Our cheesemonger sez, “(The raw tomme) can hardly stand up straight!” Great with hearty sourdough bread.

Harbison from Jasper Hill
Keep it all for yourself. Oh, all right. Share, if you must.
Harbison is a pasteurized cow, bloomy-rind, bark-wrapped cheese – a cheese that you scoop out with your most favorite large ice cream spoon, but not so gooey that it falls apart. This is a cheese that stands out among cheeses, with a bold, woodsy flavor.
Harbison even has a short movie.
Avalanche Cheese Company
From Colorado, a relatively new cheese! Lamborn Bloomer is soft-ripened over just a month – Robiola-style. Only, this isn’t cow’s milk! It’s a gooey, buttery, dreamy goat milk cheese.
(Please ask us for assistance – we’ll gladly help you locate this delectable cheese.)
Uplands Cheese, Rush Creek Reserve, LIMITED TIME ONLY – 1/30/12: SOLD OUT, CHECK BACK FOR AVAILABILITYOur cheesemonger, JB, sez: “This is the cadillac of cheese!” It could very well be a life-changing event, spooning out this cheese.
The cheesmakers at Uplands only make Rush Creek in the autumn, as the cows begin to eat the winter hay. It’s a raw cow milk cheese, aged many months to bring out the complex taste of their grass-fed cows. The cheese is wrapped in spruce, to hold the shape – which also adds an aromatic & meaty taste to the cheese.
