A Brand New Shipment of Cheese Just Arrived!  Our Cheese Case is Finally Restocked Just In Time for Summer.

 

Just A Few of Our Artisan Cheese Selections

Great Ocean Road Australian Cheddar

This sharp white cheddar hails from Australia, where it is made from pure milk taken from cows that graze on lush pastures swept by winds from the Southern Ocean. Produced at the Warmambool Cheese & Butter Factory, this premium cheddar is tangy, pale yellow and firm. Perfect to serve as a hors d'oeuvre with fruit or mixed into your favorite recipe for bacon-cheddar biscuits, this is a great cheese to have on hand for all your needs, snacking or culinary..
 

English Cheddar with Caramelized Onions

From the historic Wensleydale Creamery in England, this latest creation quickly made waves at the New York Fancy Food Show last summer. Creamy, buttery cheddar is perfectly blended with tangy, caramelized onions to produce a new English favorite.

Boschetto al Tartufo Stagionato

Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto is about as amazing as a cheese gets. The cheesemakers at Il Forteto in Mugello have now created an outstanding version, aged for four months. Stagionato is made from pure sheep's milk. The master cheese maker at Il Forteto has still maintained a precious harmony between the pronounced, pungent taste of the extremely scarce (and expensive) white truffle and pure sheep's milk. The scent and flavor will bowl you over with delight.

Mountain Gorgonzola

From Italy's Lombardy region, we present Mountain Gorgonzola, a sharp and tangy cheese. With its white interior laced with streaks of blue, Mountain Gorgonzola is an attractive table cheese and a savory ingredient in your favorite salad. Our Mountain Gorgonzola is definitely an “eating” cheese, as it would be a shame to cook with such a perfect representative of what great Gorgonzola should be.

Royal Blue Stilton

Long known as "The King of Cheeses", Blue Stilton is one of a handful of British cheeses granted the status of a "protected designation origin" (PDO) by the European Commission. There are just six dairies licensed to make Stilton. To be called Stilton, a cheese must: 1) be made only in the three counties from local milk which is pasteurized before use. 2) be allowed to form its own crust or coat. 3) be un-pressed and have delicate blue veins radiating from the center.

Kerrygold Irish Cheddar

Kerrygold, the Irish cheese crafters that produce Blarney and Dubliner, make a spectacular, limited production two-year aged Vintage Cheddar. Encased in black wax to differentiate it from less-aged Cheddars, this special cheddar is the result of a careful grading process such that only the best are allowed to bear the "Vintage" label. This connoisseur's cheddar, notable for its rich, rounded flavor and firm, smooth body, deserves a place on the cheese board alongside your choice of the world's other great cheeses.

Classic Extra Aged Gouda

One of the rarest, most sought after Dutch specially-cured cheeses has been made in the southern provinces of the Netherlands for over 800 years - Extra Aged Farmer Gouda. Easy to distinguish, it is the dairy world's equivalent of a Rembrandt or Van Gogh. This edible opus magnum has been matured for eighteen months, allowing its body to develop a muted caramel color, matched by an intense flavor with a sweet finish. Extra Aged Gouda can be grated or chunked.

Extra Double Aged Gouda

This one simply has to be tasted to be believed. Aged for a full five years, this gouda is both intense and complex. Like a fine wine, maturity has been generous to this gouda, lending it nuances other cheeses only dream of. A beguiling array of flavors tease the taste buds item.

 

Widmer's 6 Year Reserve Cheddar

Joe Widmer's family has been crafting cheese in Theresa, Wisconsin since his grandfather John Widmer arrived from Switzerland more than 80 years ago. This eight year aged cheddar is rich with notes of caramel. While it is aged for a considerable period of time, it is still moist and creamy on the tongue with a noteworthy tanginess and slightly salty finish.
