Our Cheese Selection

  • Peggy

    The Peggy is a soft-ripened Camembert-style cheese that is buttery and mellow when young. As Peggy matures, it develops a decadent gooey texture. The flavor profile includes delicious notes of sweet hay, fresh cream, and vegetal undertones. Honeycomb or sweeter berry preserves make for wonderful pairings.

  • Coperthwaite

    The Coperthwaite begins as the same young cheese as the Peggy, but it is washed in a blend of cultures as it ages in our cheese cave for a bolder, funkier flavor profile. Mature wheels have a delicious roasted quality and a deep umami finish. Perfect with cornichons and other pickled items or, for a sweeter pairing, onion jam.

  • Wendell

    Our raw milk semi-firm tomme is buttery, bright, and full of piquant flavor. The Wendell is approachable, snackable, and reliably crowd pleasing. An excellent melter making for a perfectly gooey grilled cheese sandwich or mac & cheese.

  • Fresh Cheese

    A soft and luxuriously creamy farmer’s cheese with delicate tang and wonderful richness. Perfect on a bagel, spooned onto pasta. or delicious served as is in a cheese spread with a dollop of fig preserves.

  • R&D Cheeses

    From large format alpines to experimental rind washes, we always have a few experiments going in the cheese caves. Stay tuned, as some of these cheeses might become a permanent member of our lineup or will be available as limited editions.
