Green Hill From Sweet
Grass Dairy
Green Hill is pasteurized,
soft-ripened, cow’s milk cheese. A Camembert-style bloomy-rinded cheese, Green
Hill is the shining star of the Sweet Grass Dairy line. They have received
numerous awards for this cheese and it’s success is rooted in our grass-based
milk. Their artisan modes of production yield a thin rind with a rich, unctuous
paste and a sweet, buttery flavor.
Barely Buzzed from
Beehive Cheese Company
This is a full bodied cheese with a nutty flavor and smooth texture.
The cheese is hand rubbed with a Turkish grind of Colorado Legacy Coffee
Company's (The Cheesemakers brother) "Beehive Blend". The blend
consists of a mix of South American, Central American, and Indonesian beans
roasted to different styles. French Superior Lavendar buds are ground with the
coffee and the mixture is diluted with oil to suspend the dry ingredients in
the rub. The rub imparts notes of butterscotch and caramel which are prevalent
near the rind, but find their way to the center of the cheese. The cheese is
aged on Utah Blue Spruce aging racks in our humidity controlled caves, and
moved to different temperature during the aging process to develop texture and
flavor. The name "Barely Buzzed" comes from Andrea at Deluxe Foods in
California. She was the winner of the name this cheese contest.
Sea Hive From
Beehive Cheese Company
From the land of Salt and Honey. We couldn’t resist this one. Our
SeaHive is hand rubbed with Beehive wildflower honey and local Redmond
RealSalt. The honey is harvested from a local farm where the bee’s visit
wildflowers and fruit orchards. The salt is from an ancient sea bed near
Redmond, Utah and contains unique flecks of color that are the result of more
than 50 natural trace minerals. This cheese is shaping up to be one of our best
experiments yet and is a true expression of our local flavors
Habenaro Smoked
Cheddar

historic location where the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific Rail Road
lines linked the country nearly 150 years ago This Irish style cheese is:
buttery, full-bodied and lively with snappy, citrus-like and fruity notes.
Warms on your tongue and leaves a subtle sharp note in your mouth Smoked with English Walnut Shells, apples
and peppered with habenaro.
Chocolate Butter With
Pecans
In Cajun and Creole Country,
cooks are always in search of extra flavor, even in simple accompaniments and
spreads. Unexpected ingredients are often added for that special element of
surprise. At Chef John Folse's Bittersweet Plantation Dairy, a line of flavored
butters has been created for just that reason. Enjoy our award-winning
chocolate butter on waffles, pancakes, bagels, biscuits, breads or as a baking
ingredient.
Marinated Feta from
Bittersweet Plantation
Bittersweet Plantation Dairy's Bulgarian-style goat milk feta
offers authentic flavor, superior texture and a multitude of uses. Here it is
bathed in olive oil and infused with garlic, peppers, and spices to make a
delightful appetizer or accompaniment to crusty bread or crackers.
Holy Cow from
Bittersweet Plantation Dairy
This bloomy rind cow’s milk cheese builds its tremendous flavor
characteristics through longer aging. Although a triple cream, the
one-and-a-half to three pound catch weight size allows the cheese to slowly
soften over a ten to twelve week period without achieving a molten state.
Perfect for cheese trays, eating alone, or as an added flavoring to rich
lobster or oyster bisque, no wonder it’s named Holy Cow!
Fleur dis Lis From
Bittersweet
This
triple cream Guernsey milk blend is characterized by a slightly firm rind and a
wonderful, buttery, creamy interior. This cheese is named after the symbol of
France, the founder of Louisiana.
Benning Aged Goat Cheese
This goat cheese is not at all what you would
expect from a goat cheese because its taste is very mild compared to other goat
cheeses. Its made in the traditional old fashioned way, using wooden forms to
shape the cheese. Its aged for 1 year in a temperature and moisture controlled
room on wooden shelves and hand turned every week. It pairs well with semi-dry
to semi-sweet white wines, cider and beer. Great on a sesame seed cracker or
whole wheat breads
Ewephoria Sheep Milk Gouda
The punny name that only
makes sense in English should give it away; this cheese was invented for the
American market’s infamous sweet tooth. Presumptuous - if only the butterscotch
sweet, nutty result wasn’t so gosh darn successful. And there’s an upside to a
focused market; the single producer of pasteurized milk is much smaller than
most export sources - the farmer’s wife posits that the sheep ‘eat better than
her children’ on lush pasture surrounded by a nature preserve. The crunchy
stuff makes a blissful snack with drinks like Sherry or Porter and is delicious
melted on pies or dessert breads.
Roomano 6 Year aged Cow milk Gouda
Roomano is a skimmed cow's milk Gouda from Holland aged up to six years.
The texture is hard and crystalline; the flavor has intense caramel and
butterscotch tones. Roomano is suitable for grating as well as eating - pair
this cheese with big reds or crisp, fruity whites.
Prima Donna Dutch
Gouda
Prima Donna is a relatively mild style of a Dutch Gouda cow's milk cheese
that is aged for one year. As compared to a four- or six-year Gouda, Prima
Donna has a distinctly softer texture and a more subtle flavor. It has an ivory
rind with a slight rose blush, a crystalline texture, and a sweet, nutty flavor
with a caramel aftertaste. Prima Donna is a versatile cheese for pairing with
wines yet it pairs especially well with bigger reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon
or Zinfandel
Asiago Pressato
Produced in the Po Valley near Treviso, Asiago
Pressato is a milder, sweeter Asiago with a springy, pale interior. It is
classified as an Italian DOC (Denominiazione di Origine Controllata) cheese,
meaning that it is protected by governmental standards regarding the cheese's
origin and techniques. Made from pasteurized whole milk and aged for 20 to 40
days, this young cheese has a full, creamy flavor. We suggest enjoying Pressato
with crusty Italian bread and a glass of Pinot Grigio!
Crucolo
Crucolo is an artisanal cheese that
comes from the Trentino-Alto Adige region in Northern Italy It is a cow’s milk
cheese that is produced by unpasteurized milk only by a single producer,
Rifigio Crucolo. The pate is ivory in color with irregular holes dispersed
throughout. It is manufactured in cylindrical shaped wheels that
typically weigh 25 pounds. It is similar to Asiago and Trugole in appearance.
Its texture is fairly soft and elastic with a flavor that is somewhat mild,
rich, buttery with a slightly tangy finish.
Fontina Val D’aosta
The recipe for Fontina Val d'Aosta is rumored to have been revealed to the early
inhabitants of the Val d'Aosta by a near-mythical man called Sarvadzo. He
taught them to make this unpasteurized, full-fat cheese, matured in grottos for
at least three months. Its taste reflects its origins in the high, Alpine
slopes - it is actually an Italian cousin to the French Gruyère. Fontina is
earthy, mushroomy, and woody, and pairs exceedingly well with roast meats and
truffles. This cheese also pairs well with a burly red wine - try a Barolo from
Piemonte to the south, or a Zweigelt from Austria to the northeast.
Provolone Valpadana
Provolone Valdapana is only produced in the
plains from Milan to Udine. There is also a Provolone cheese made in the areas
around Naples called the “Provolone del Monaco.” If it comes from anywhere else
it is a fake. Even when produced in these regions there is a difference between
the industrial crap and true Provolone. Provolone will be in its traditional
form. The traditional shapes are large Salami, Pear or Melon, truncated cone
(for sizes above 100 lbs) and the wine bottle. Your Deli should have the Pear/Melon
shaped Provolone.
Gorgonzola Naturale
Gorgonzola Naturale (also known as Piccante) is what most people
think of as Gorgonzola - it is a large wheel of blued cow's milk cheese from
Northern Italy. The texture is semi-soft which softens even further at room
temperature. The molds inside are a characteristic blue/green color and provide
a sharp piquancy throughout the cheese
