Fontina Val d'Aosta

Fontina Val d'Aosta

Fontina Val d'Aosta

  • Country: Italy
  • Cheese Texture/Type: Semi-firm
  • Cheese Milk Type: Cow
  • Cheese Age: 3+ months
Fontina has enough flavors on its own to summarize the characteristics of the entire Itailan region of Valle d’Aosta. Fontina is dense, smooth and slightly elastic. The straw-colored interior, with its small, round holes, has a delicate nuttiness with a hint of mild honey. This supple cheese’s flavor hints of pristine forest floors, then shifts to a lovely yet powerful lingering scent of wild mushrooms.

Drunken Goat

Drunken Goat

Drunken Goat

  • Country: Spain
  • Cheese Texture/Type: Firm
  • Cheese Milk Type: Goat
  • Cheese Age: 3 months
This amazing goat cheese is made in the village of Jumilla in the Murcia region of Spain, which is on the southeastern coast. It is most unusual, and in fact it is very difficult to find. The name Drunken Goat conjures up images of goats weaving about the pasture… perhaps even snoozing on their backs with their hooves pointed to the blue sky. But just in case you were wondering… wine, beer, or any other form of spirits are not fed to the goats. Rather the cheese is soaked in wine. The flavor begins as mild and sooo creamy, but finishes with a wonderful tangy sweetness and a fruity, lusciously, grapey aroma.

Prairie Breeze™

Milton Creamery Prairie Breeze™

Milton Creamery Prairie Breeze™

  • Country: United States
  • Cheese Texture/Type: Firm
  • Cheese Milk Type: Cow
  • Cheese Age: 9 months

Based in Southeast Iowa, Milton Creamery was started in 2006 as a joint venture by the Musser Family and local Amish dairy farmers. Today the creamery is solely owned and operated by the Musser Family with the addition of a couple of outside employees. Soon after opening, 17 year old Galen Musser submitted his take on cheddar, Prairie Breeze, and won Best of Class in the Open Hard category at the U.S. Cheese Championship which is one of many awards. Sweeter than most cheddars, this well aged cheddar is loaded with flavor with the added crunch of calcium crystals developed during the aging process.

Plymouth Original

Plymouth Original

Plymouth Original

  • Country: United States
  • Cheese Texture/Type: Firm
  • Cheese Milk Type: Cow
  • Cheese Age: 12 months

Although cheesemaker Jesse Werner is making quite a few outstanding cheeses, we simply had to share their flagship cheese with you. It’s aged for 12 months and hand dipped in a bright red wax as the early settlers did. The cheddar flavor is an outstanding balance of sweetness and savory flavors. Many cheddars today are being made sweeter and sweeter, but this cheese is a step away from that trend.

Üsi Minnie

Üsi Minnie

Üsi Minnie

  • Country: Switzerland
  • Cheese Texture/Type: Semi-firm
  • Cheese Milk Type: Cow
  • Cheese Age: 2+ months

Üsi Minnie presents a rich, dense, creamy paste. It’s not hard to conjure images of the field that Minnie grazed in to produce this bold and flavorful cheese as it evokes deep roasted nutty and buttery flavors, balanced nicely with big floral, herbal and grassy notes. A touch of lactic bite and spice on the finish round it out nicely. Overall, a really unique and flavorful Alpine cheese.

Tomme d'Abondance

Tomme d'Abondance

Tomme d'Abondance

  • Country: France
  • Cheese Texture/Type: Semi-firm
  • Cheese Milk Type: Cow
  • Cheese Age: 6 months

First things first. Be sure to remove the crust and grey layer underneath before eating this cheese. Supple is a great word to describe Abondance’s creamy, rich, ivory-hued paste. Its aroma is prominent and flavor intensely fruity, buttery, nutty (hazelnut), and slightly floral. Think of Alpine cows grazing at 3000-6000 feet above sea level on mountain flowers and grasses. We found a nice balance of sweetness to acidity.
