A cow & goat milk cheese. This American original is a mild fruity cheese with rich cheddary notes. The cow milk develops sweet buttery characteristics, as the goat milk develops
sweet tangy notes, creating Chandoka – a wonderfully flavorful cheese.
This ‘Manchego’ cheese is coated with fresh local rosemary and aged for 15 months. During the curing time, the cheese picks the amazing aroma of the rosemary, adding an extra depth of flavor.
Manchego is aged for 3 months or longer, and is a semi-firm cheese with a rich golden color. It comes in a 10-inch diameter wheel, 5 inches thick with a herringbone design on the rind. It ranges from mild to sharp, depending on how long it is aged.
Homemade! We hand-pull strands of fresh mozzarella and add our own cultured cream to create this amazing textural stracciatella.
Elaborated with raw sheep milk, Idiaza¡bal is a robust and sharp cheese, and usually ripened for a long period (at least 60 days). Its paste is delightful and chewy. The P.D.O. Idiazabal bheese is elaborated in the Basque Country and Navarre, from raw milk of the `Lacha` and `Carranzana` sheep´s varieties, natural rennet, and a minimum ripering of 2 months.
Fourth generation cheesemaker Javier and his wife make this teardrop shaped cheese in their home in Lugo, Galicia, which also doubles as a cheese plant. It’s a tiny operation with only 4 employes, and the care with which this award-winning cheese is made shows. Javier waits until the end of the process to smoke the cheese with birch wood for up to 90 minutes. It develops a lovely caramel colored exterior, a golden interior with tiny eyes and a subtle smoked flavor. Javier says the aroma reminds his customers of a time gone by, when their food was cooked over a wood-fired flame. We couldn’t agree more.
