Jakes Baby Gouda

The unexpected marriage of lavender and wild fennel pollen distinguishes Purple Haze Cheese and makes it utterly addictive.

Grafton’s flagship cheddar is made with raw cow’s milk and aged for two full years to achieve a mature flavor and dense, firm-yet-creamy texture. Not every batch of cheddar has what it takes to age to perfection. The young cheddar is tasted early on to determine which batch has the best trajectory for aging. It must have balanced acidity and moisture that will hold up over time.

Nettle Meadow’s (from New York state) newest spreadable cheese option is a mixed milk cheese of goat and cow’s milk. This version is a wonderful blend of honey and figs in a spreadable cheese, think your morning bagel! This is a 5 ounce cup.
