Carr Valley Pinconning

Country: United States
Cheese Texture/Type: Semi-firm
Cheese Milk Type: Cow
Cheese Age: 30 days

Carr Valley Pinconning is made from an old recipe by Carr Valley Cheese Company in Wisconsin, which was established in 1902 and continues to employ the hand cheese-making skills of four generations. A mild blend of colby and cheddar cheeses, Carr Valley produces its Pinconning in large thirty-eight pound wheels which we slice into long narrow wedges for our club members. Carr Valley Pinconning is a yellow semi-hard style cheese with an open texture, which allows it to age quite well from mild to super sharp. This cheese is typically eaten instead of Cheddar or Colby, and works well in macaroni and cheese or in omelets and soufflés.

Bourdin Chèvre

Country: France
Cheese Texture/Type: Soft
Cheese Milk Type: Goat
Cheese Age: Fresh

This style of fresh goat cheese is a staple in French markets, and for very good reason. It has a soft and moist texture and a gentle but creamy flavor. While this wonderfully versatile cheese may be eaten by itself, it is the perfect backdrop to let your culinary imagination run wild! It can be paired with fruit, honey or preserves and is perfect to add depth into any salad. A traditional European way of serving fresh goat cheese is alongside olives and/or olive oils.

Roncal

Country: Spain
Cheese Texture/Type: Firm
Cheese Milk Type: Sheep
Cheese Age: 4 months

Roncal is not only a name-protected cheese, but was the first cheese to be granted that honor by Spain in 1981. It's made in the Roncal valley, in the Navarre region, where some of the registered sheep herds which produce the milk date back to the thirteenth century! It has an olively and rich flavor that has been savoured in Spain for almost 3000 years, but is difficult to find in this country. It is traditionally enjoyed with Navarra red wines of the same region.
