10% of our Cheese of the Month sales go to an organization with a mission we are honored to support. In February we’ll contribute to the The National Women’s Law Center, working across the issues that are central to the lives of women and girls.
The Second Mouse Cheese of the Month Club is available for pick-up at our Pleasantville shop, or for delivery within Westchester County (at an additional charge). Subscribe for as few or as many months as suits your needs.
Available the third full weekend of each month.

Pasteurized Goat Milk, Capriole, Greenville, IN
Named after one of the original goats in Capriole’s herd, Tea Rose has a dusting of fennel pollen, and a shower of herbs and aromatic flower petals. But the allure of this fresh, lactic cheese is far more than a lovely face. Pair this chevre with a flowery honey, a hot cup of herbal tea—or a sparkling white wine—and allow Tea Rose to transport you to an early spring picnic.
Pasteurized Cow Milk, Vegetarian Rennet, Ireland
Kept moist and crumbly inside an ever-so-Irish themed rind, Irish Cheddar is a buttery beauty that embodies the lush grassiness of Ireland’s rolling pastures. Sweet, creamy, and light, its supple straw-colored paste is infused with gentle fruity undertones that develop over the 12 months this cheese ages. Try melting it over vegetables or potatoes or snacking on it with some crunchy pickles, hearty crackers, and of course, an Irish stout.
Raw Cow Milk, Deansboro, NY
Tracing its heritage back to the Netherlands, yet made here in New York by an Amish family. The cooler summers in upstate New York make a great environment for quality milk production. A true farmstead cheese, the milk is drawn on the Stoltzfus Family Farm before being transformed into the creamery’s full line of Goudas. We carry the 1-year, because of its inherent sweetness and crystalline crunch. You may even pick up on a hint of cappuccino in its flavor.

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?
