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.
