Jersey Girl Colby
(Raw – cow’s milk)
Stone House Farm, Sharon Springs, NY – Cooperstown Cheese Co.
“This raw milk Colby made with milk from Stone House Farm in Sharon Springs, NY is very flavorful and creamy.  Stone House Farm is entirely grass fed so the earthiness of the cow’s milk is reflected in the deep yellow hue and rich hearty flavor of the cheese. Since the flavor of the cheese is so dependent on the availability of grass in the fields, the cheese is made in the spring and summer months so it is not always available all year long”Cooperstwon Cheese Co.

Dutch Farmstead
(Raw – cow’s milk)
Cato Corner Farm, Colchester, CT
“Dutch Farmstead features a milky flavor, light acidity and a richness that highlights the buttery quality of the Jersey milk.  It is a delightfully versatile cheese!  Its young age allows it to pair well with Sauvignon Blanc or tart raspberry jam, while its rich texture stands up to inky Cabernets and floral Saisons” Cato Corner Farm.

Humboldt Fog
(Pasteurized -goats’ milk)
Cypress Grove, Arcata, CA
“One of the most unique American goat cheeses out there, Humboldt Fog is Cypress Grove’s signature cheese. Elegant and luscious, this three-week old cheese pays homage to classic French Morbier by running a thin line of grey vegetable ash through its creamy, white center. As Humboldt Fog ages, its subtle tanginess grows more pronounced and a runny edge of thick and delicious ooze begins to develop under the rind and drift to the center of the cheese. Its similarity to Humboldt County’s morning fog is unmistakable and lovely to behold” Cowgirl Creamery.
