The Entertainer

Harbison (9-ounce wheel)
A spreadable bloomy-rind cheese wrapped in spruce bark, made by Jasper Hill Farm. Winner of the 2018 ACS Conference Best in Show Award!

Cabot Clothbound Cheddar Black Label (1-pound wedge)
The best of the best of our Cabot Clothbound, our black label batches are hand-selected by our sensory team for their excellence in representing what the cheese can be. This approachable but complex natural-rind, bandaged cheddar with a crumbly yet smooth texture and nutty aroma. The flavor is deeply savory with chicken broth notes with caramel sweetness to the finish. Winner of the 2006 American Cheese Society’s Best of Show award!

Withersbrook Blue (8-oz wedge)
Withersbrook Blue is a rich, spreadable blue that has notes of sweet fermented fruit, mild winter spice, and rich buttercream. After 60 days of cave-ripening, this cube is placed into a special pouch and immersed in Eden Cider’s Heirloom Ice Cider. It is perfect for pairing with both sweet and savory foods: serve it up with raw honey or sprinkle it atop seared ribeye!

Alpha Tolman (6-ounce wedge)
Our handsome and hearty Alpha Tolman is inspired by iconic Alpine cheeses like Comte and Beaufort, with a dense, smooth paste redolent of toasted nuts and roasted meat. Caramelized undertones and a fruity finish bring balance to this umami-forward crowd-pleaser.

Moses Sleeper (16-oz wheel)
Moses is an approachable and nuanced soft-ripened cheese. Beneath its thin, bloomy rind lies a gooey, milky core showing a complex array of flavors of cauliflower, crème fraîche, and toasted nuts. A bright, clean finish with a hint of white mushroom aroma follows.

Willoughby (8-ounce wheel)
This succulent and buttery washed-rind cheese has aromas of peat, roasted beef, and onions – a strong and complex front for the subtle milky, herbal, ripe-peach flavors within. Willoughby has a thin, tender, rosy-orange rind, which adds earthy dimension to the texture and flavors of the gooey interior.

Hungry Bird Nordic Crisps (5-ounce box)
These buttery crisps are inspired by Scandinavian flatbreads. Their nuttiness and melt-in-your-mouth texture make them a perfect vehicle for cheese.

Apricots & Orange Honey Preserves (10-ounce jar)
Created in partnership with Blake Hill Preserves, this preserve is designed to pair with washed rind cheeses.

Monti Verdi Lonzino (3-ounce package)
Lonzino is a lesser-know cured meat (coming from the loin) that produces a lean and sweet cut—almost like prosciutto. Monti Verdi—a Vermont charcuterie producer that employs old world techniques—leaves a nice layer of fat to add softness and silkiness. A long aging process of over four months allows for a complexity of flavors of this top-quality meat to emerge.

OPTIONAL ADD-ON

Ceramic Brie Baker
Made locally by Uphill Pottery
Approximately 8” across, designed to fit a wheel of Moses Sleeper with enough room to wrap the cheese in pastry if desired. Can also be used to bake smaller wheels of cheese like Winnimere or Harbison, filling the empty space with items for dipping such as roasted vegetables.
