An approachable and nuanced brie-style cheese. Beneath its thin, bloomy rind lies a gooey, milky core showing a complex array of flavors at peak ripeness: cauliflower, crème fraîche, and toasted nuts. A bright, clean finish with a hint of white mushroom aroma follows the rich flavors of the paste.

Batches are released for sale based not on age, but when the perfect balance of flavor is achieved – bright and brothy savory notes with a salt-caramel finish and crystalline texture that becomes creamy on the palate. 24 month age.

Made in the Netherlands with milk from Holstein Friesian cows, it is aged for two years. Because this cheese is made year-round, the flavor, as a result of the varying milk, will change slightly with the seasons. Typically, the paste is a deep amber color with well-distributed protein crystals.
A hard, dry cheese made from skimmed or partially skimmed cow’s milk. It has a hard pale-golden rind and a straw-colored interior with a rich, sharp flavor. Aged at least two years.
This masterpiece paved the way for soft-ripened goat cheese in America. Each handcrafted wheel features a distinctive ribbon of edible vegetable ash. You’ll enjoy buttermilk and fresh cream, complemented with floral notes, herbaceous overtones, and a clean citrus finish. As Humboldt Fog matures, the creamline develops and the flavor intensifies.
Fromager D’Affinois is an ivory double cream cheese with a smooth, runny texture, and a firmer core. This almost creates a double texture within the same cheese, making for a unique texture. The outer rind is edible and even enhances the full experience of the flavor. Every bite is mild with soft notes of mushroom and a touch of saltiness.
