Pasteurized Cow Milk, Salt, Port Wine, Spruce Wrap, Cultures, Enzymes
Jasper Hill, Greensboro, Vermont
If you haven’t crossed paths with Harbison, you haven’t been to the right parties. This is a stand-alone cheese that’ll elevate any gathering, and in this case, pocket-size. Take a paring knife, trim around the edge, peel back, and spoon yourself an oopy-goopy brilliantly unctuous dollop of goodness. Made with the milk of Jasper Hill’s beautiful Ayrshire cows, wrapped in spruce, then washed in the timeless elegance of Sandeman Founder’s Reserve Ruby Port, this little round of magnificence has a beautiful aroma of vanilla, woodsy oak, and a hint of smokey umami. Digging into its supple paste, you’ll discover rich tones of sweet cream with a lingering currant finish. Enjoy with a glass of Port, naturally, fresh berries, and a bite of dark chocolate. 5oz
Pasteurized Goat Milk, Chestnut Leaves, Bourbon, Salt, Cultures, Enzymes
Capriole, Greenville, Indiana
ailing from pioneer of American artisanal cheeses, Capriole Goat Cheese, O’Banon is a showstopper with a long shelf life. Wrapped up like a gift in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves, O’Banon is all the excuse needed for a celebration. This fresh goat cheese round initially has a bright, tart-fruit flavor balanced by an underlying sweetness and mild tannic note. The paste is dense but softly cloudlike, a testament to Capriole’s hand-ladling process. Pair with Primo Thai Chile Whisky Honey for an otherworldy experience. 6oz
Pasteurized Goat and Cow Milks, Rosemary, Olive Oil, Salt, Cultures, Enzymes
Goat Rodeo, Alison Park, PA
nspired by the flavors of Spain, the newest mixed-milk cheese from Goat Rodeo Farm & Dairy is hand-pressed with freshly dried rosemary and brushed with extra virgin olive oil. Salty, herbaceous, but not overly punchy, Wild Rosemary can accompany any cheese plate. Pair it with your favorite Spanish wine, or our personal favorite, a Basque cider. Approx 6oz
Second Mouse Appalachian Honey
Wehrloom Honey, Robbinsville, NC
Raw Honey, real honey, is an entirely different product than what we might find in bear bottle. This honey is made from the nectar of flowers that bloom in the early spring in the Appalachian Mountains. Nectar sources for this honey may include: willow, maple, tulip poplar, dandelion, clover, sumac, locust, holly. While the pollinators are hard at work keeping our green spaces lush, we also get to indulge in the body and soul healing raw honey offers us.

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?
