About the Cheeses

Grassias is a lovely cheese crafted from a blend of fresh cow and goat milk. A perfect example of the ancient craft of leaf-wrapping young cheeses, Grassias has a refreshing, herbal aroma and flavor. The goat milk provides its signature refreshing tartness and soft clay texture, while the cow milk adds a sweet wholesome milk taste and buttery mouthfeel. The combination of these two milks and the lemon grass wrapping gives Grassias layers of flavors. It is a versatile cheese partner for many wines, particularly the lighter to medium varieties. Grassias also pairs well with Pilsners, Lagers, and Wheat Beers. Piece is about 5 oz.

Jasper Hill Clothbound Cheddar has all the characteristic texture of an English-style cheddar with the sweet caramel and milky flavors that sets it apart from other bandaged cheddars. Collectively sweet, savory, nutty, and tangy, its rustic crystalline texture becomes creamy on the palate. Pair it Alta Vista Brut Sparkling Rose of Malbec or Château des Jacques Moulin-à-Vent.

Uplands Pleasant Ridge is one of the most exquisite farmstead cheeses made in America. The product of Wisconsin’s Mike Gingrich, this multiple award-winning cheese is a wonderful rival to France’s noble mountain cheese, Beaufort. Uplands Pleasant Ridge has a nutty, clean flavor and a milky finish that shows off the extremely high quality of the cow’s milk. Its rich, dense and balanced flavors pair well with many wines: from Albariños to Zinfandels.

Doubleday’s Choice is a raw cow’s milk cheese from Upstate New York. Washed with hard apple cider while aging, its paste is creamy and its flavor mellow with a remarkably sweet and fruity rind and firm texture that balances the whole cheese.
