Featured Fall Cheeses

Idiazábal - Spain
If you love Manchego, you should definitely give this fantastic cheese a try.  Originating in the Basque Country near Pamplona, this sheep’s milk cheese is strong, slightly acidic and piquant, and buttery with lots of great characteristic sheep’s milk flavor.

Goat Gouda - Netherlands
This cheese is for people who think they don’t like goat cheese!  This cheese is smooth and velvety sweet.  With its caramel scent and cooked milk taste, this cheese will appeal to your sweet tooth.

Roaring 40’s Blue - Australia
King’s Island, situated south of Melbourne, is legendary for unique pastures and natural feeding methods.  As a result, King Island cows are reputed to produce the sweetest milk in all the land, and this cheese is no less reputable.  This blue is full flavored, with a sweet nutty flavor, and aged in blue wax sealing in moisture and creating a smooth creamy texture.

Piave - Italy
This is a unique cheese with a very specific process of cooking and aging specific to the region.  This cheese is similar to Parmigiano reggiano in texture, and is intense and full bodied, only intensifying with age creating an absolutely exceptional cheese.

Humboldt Fog - California
In Humboldt Country, where the redwoods meet the Pacific, this magnificent goat’s cheese is created.  It is the signature offering of Cypress Grove, a ripened goat’s cheese with a layer of edible vegetable ash in the center and along the exterior; absolutely elegant, soft, creamy and luscious with a subtle tangy flavor. 

Oregon Smokey Blue - Oregon
This Rogue River blue cheese is smoked over northwest grown hazelnut shells, creating a balance of sweet caramel and nutty flavors that magically contrast the sharpness of the traditional blue flavor.  It has a semi-soft texture and is aged in Roquefort modeled caves.
