10% of our Cheese of the Month sales go to an organization with a mission we are honored to support. In June we’ll contribute to the World Central Kitchen first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises.

Pasteurized Cow Milk, Salt, Cultures, Enzymes
Chaseholm Farms, Pine Plains, NY
Chaseholm is one of only a handful of farmstead creameries in New York State, meaning that their cheese is produced with milk from the very same farm. And in our opinion, Nimbus is one of their greatest and most popular achievements. It’s a triple cream, soft ripened cow’s milk cheese with a bloomy rind out of the French tradition, that’s cave- aged 6-8 weeks for a soft, rich paste. Based on our personal experiences, it pairs especially well with some warm crusty baguette and a bubbly libation. Best served at room temperature—if you can wait that long.
Pasteurized Cow, Goat & Sheep Milks, Salt, Cultures, Enzymes
La Mancha, Spain
It may look like Manchego, but don’t trust your eyes on this sneaky one. Campo de Montalban is a cow-goat-sheep blend, semi-firm, herringbone-crested waxed wheel of goodness that hails from the same region as Manchego. It’s super snackable, versatile, and considerably less expensive, thanks to the addition of the ever abundant cows’ milk. Campo de Montalban is a hint sweet and nutty, and although as salty as Manchego, considerably less tangy. It still pairs well with anything Manchego-friendly.
Organic Cow Milk, Salt, Cultures, Vegetarian Enzymes
The first of its kind, this organic, dense and creamy blue is smoked over hazelnut shells. It’s resonant of crème brulee and campfires, neither overwhelming nor bland. Beautiful exactly as is, it’d also make the world’s best cheese burger. Pair it with Cab Franc, Sauternes, or heck, single malt Scotch. Live well.

Our Cheese of the Month Club started as a means of supporting small, regional artisan producers during the hardship of COVID. It was an enormous success, and we’re proud to have given a little boost to the hard working folk who provide us with nourishment and joy. Each month, we also gave 10% of our Club’s sales to a Charity or Agricultural Organization doing something we thought noble. We’ll be keeping that custom moving forward, but expanding the selection a bit to include cheeses from across the US and around the world. Each month will feature small-batch products made by real humans with genuine love for the products they bring to market. Three cheeses, a curated sweet or savory condiment, and crackers or biscuits are always included, as are descriptions of what you’re about to enjoy. Some months may include an added bonus. A collection of artisanal goods, a hint of whimsy, a sprinkling of feel-good, and a hefty portion of delicious. Also - commitments as short as one month. Whatcha waitin’ for?
