OUR JUNE CHEESE SELECTION.

Taleggio is a washed rind cow's milk cheese from the Lombardy region of Italy. It is produced in the Val Taleggio, an alpine region near Bergamo, and historically, it dates back to the ninth century! We have sourced a true artisan Taleggio produced by Coop San Antonio and aged at CasArrigoni. Its flavors are meaty and fruity. The texture is dense and pudding-like. While Taleggio has become ubiquitous, the DOP and mountain designation ensures an authentic Taleggio of incredible quality.

Brabander goat's milk gouda is made in the Brabant region of southern Holland from the pasteurized milk of Saanen goats. It is aged by our dear friend Betty Koster, who, with her husband Martin, owns two amazing cheese shops in Amsterdam. Betty and Martin work closely with the producers to ensure great practices and high quality cheese. They select their wheels and age them at slightly warmer than normal temperatures which Betty believes help develop a greater complexity and depth of flavor. Brabander is dense and creamy with flavors of nut, caramel, hay and just a touch of gaminess.

Located in Marion, Massachusetts, the farm at Great Hill Dairy has been in the Stone family since the early 20th century. The dairy sits on the shores of Buzzards Bay, about 50 miles south of Boston. The milk for Great Hill Blue is sourced from their herd of Guernsey cows, making it a farmstead cheese. The milk is not homogenized, which gives the cheese a full flavor and smooth texture. The flavors are bright and acidic, with a peppery bite and a hint of butter from the high fat Guernsey milk. We love Great Hill Blue after dinner with a nice glass of dessert wine, but it is also delicious in a wedge salad or on a burger.
