Cheeses



 

Alphabetical Listing
of our Summer Cheeses

Buffalo Mozzarella
A satisfying cheese: moist, sweet, tender,
milky, nutty and buttery. Drizzle with some
olive oil, sprinkle with some sea salt. Wow!

Butter – Salted
My brother used to bring a French version
of this home from Paris. This domestic
version is just as good.

Butter – Unsalted
For those who appreciate the higher quality
of fresh butter but do not want the salt.

Camembert
Hudson Valley – A locally produced
camembert that rivals its French cousins.

Camembert
French – Camembert, similar to its
Brie cousin, is formed into smaller wheels
with a slightly more robust flavor. Firm when
chilled or runny at room temperature,
Camembert is a delight with bread, fruit or nuts.

Cana de Cabra
A goat cheese from Spain.
Pungent, creamy and just delicious.

Capra Goat with Honey
Creamy and rich, as a goat cheese should be,
Capra Goat is aged for a few weeks. It is firm
enough to slice but creamy enough to spread.
Drops of sweet Belgian “liquid gold” gives
a hint of sugar, extremely pleasing.

Cashel Irish Blue Cheese

Cashel Blue is made in Ireland by one family.

Worth the mess!

Just the right combination of sharp and tasty.
