Pasteurized Goat Milk, Salt, Cultures, Enzymes
Lazy Lady, Greenville, IN
Another best-seller (and best eater) from Lazy Lady Farm, Bonaparte’s a soft lactic goat cheese with an ash coated rind, based on the French Valençay. Offering a chalky interior that gets gooey-er (that’s a word) as it ages, this cheese is luscious and creamy with citrusy notes. Well done, goats, well done! Approx 6oz
Pasteurized Cow Milk, Salt, Cultures, Enzymes, Maple Liqueur
Jasper Hill, Greensboro, VT
This cheese has a sweet tooth! This sugaring season, Jasper Hill has taken their meaty, unctuous Willoughby and kicked it up a notch, with the addition of a Vermont specialty. Instead of their normal saltwater brine, these wheels boast a Green Mountain Organic Distillers maple liqueur wash, which imparts sweet, woodsy notes to the already indulgent cheese. Savor the rind for maximum sappy goodness! Approx 9oz
Pasteurized Sheep Milk, Salt, Cultures, Enzymes, Olive Oil
Caseificio No. 117, Consorzio Tutela Pecorino Toscano DOP, Tuscany, Italy
The term Pecorino Cacio (Sheep Cheese) is legally reserved for pure ewe's milk cheeses made between September and June. Pecorino Toscano cheeses are smaller and milder than the other Pecorinos, and must be aged at least 4 months before they earn the “Stagionato” credentials. The rind is rubbed with olive adding a layer of moisture and a hint of aromatics. Just about every Tuscan village has their own Pecorino, all made with the same recipe, and each is distinct in its own right. This particular Pecorino Toscano is delightful, a perfect addition to any salad, atop grilled veggies. Approx 4.5oz

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?
