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.

A bark-wrapped cheese…

Harbison from Jasper Hill

Cellars at Jasper Hill, Harbison

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.

Goat cheese discovery

Avalanche Cheese Company

Avalanche Cheese Company, Lamborn Bloomer

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.)

Winter cheese…

Uplands Cheese, Rush Creek Reserve, LIMITED TIME ONLY – 1/30/12: SOLD OUT, CHECK BACK FOR AVAILABILITY

Our 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.
