Some cheeses from Burgundy area were washed, in the past, with white wine, and that gave them a very rich aromatic perfume.

The cheese dairy Berthaut uses Chablis, a prestigious white wine from Burgundy, to complete the manufacturing process of its Affidélice Berthaut. These regular washings with Chablis gradually stimulate its yellow-orangish ferments, nestled in the heart of the cheese, which clothes itself slowly in a satin flora.

Near maturity, the pigmentation becomes stronger, revealing the full development and harmony of the cheese, as well as the flavors of the Burgundian soils.

Is it a cheddar or a Gruyere?  

The answer is both!  It's a cheddar highlighted by savor and sharp flavors, but this unique Vermonter is made with some Gruyere cheese culture which yields sweet, nutty overtones too.  It melts beautifully and pairs with your favorite red wines.

In June of 2017, this Vermont cheesemaker introduced Ballyhoo Brie, an 8-oz. soft-ripened cheese with a natural bloomy rind. One year later, Ballyhoo scored a silver medal at the American Cheese Society awards.

Made with pasteurized cow’s milk, the square-shaped nugget is deeply redolent of mushrooms and earthy sous-bois. Its creamy, springy paste is an explosion of butter and roasted hazelnuts, with a brothy umami finish. Still, the cheese manages to retain its milky qualities, and melts away quickly on the tongue.

It’s rare to find an American Brie-style cheese with personality. This one delivers.

Review from terroirreview.com

Milk from cows not treated with rbST (No significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rbST-treated and non-rbST-treated cows). Our Camembert is made in Normandy, the birthplace of traditional Camembert. Thanks to our unique know-how and craft, our Camembert has a earthly flavor and a silky texture, a cheese to enjoy at room temperature with your favorite wine and bread, a la francaise. Made in Normandy. Product of France.

Vermont cheesemakers have better things to do with their time than imitate traditional European cheeses; instead, they innovate upon them.  Take Harbison for example, it's a classic brie, full of mushroom-ey and roasted root vegetable flavors, but it's wrapped in spruce bark, which yields a gently earthy, even smokey finish. 

Serving suggestion, let it come to room temperature and slice the top off and dive in with baguette shards, flatbreads or crudite.  If you don't finish the cheese, put the top back on and store in your fridge until next time.  Pair with your favorite Prosecco,

Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger, 67Gourmet: Mary Keehn, one of the true originators of the American artisan cheese movement, would like you to know that she saw Jimi Hendrix live at the Fillmore.  She would also like to jazz up a routine fresh chevre with lavender and fennel pollen.  It's perfect for a beet and chive salad, or just on a baguette.  Pair with your favorite Sauvignon Blanc or, if you dare, a Sancerre.

Subtly sweet with the tangy brightness of fresh goat cheese.

The distinct and unexpected marriage of lavender and hand-harvested fennel pollen makes our lavender cheese Purple Haze® utterly addictive — and unforgettable. We use the finest ingredients for this delicious cheese and always start with the highest quality milk — the building block for our entire line of cheese. No matter what your favorite cheese is, you're sure to enjoy this cheese that is loved by many.

La Tur is a crowd favorite through and through. It’s made of a mixture of cow, sheep, and goat milk by Caseificio dell’Alta Langa in the Piedmont region of Italy. It has a rich, buttery flavor balanced by a little bit of tang. The interior texture is almost mousse-like and then it becomes gooey around the edges.

For those with a more intimate gathering, Rush Creek Reserve brings the Vacherin magic but at a smaller denomination, roughly 12 ounces. This Wisconsin delight is from Uplands, the makers of our popular Alpine Cheese, Pleasant Ridge Reserve. It has all of the dense textures and savory autumn flavors of a Fall Classic.

Produced only in the fall, as the diet of our cows begins to change from summer pasture to the winter’s dry hay.  This rich milk is perfect for a cheese like Rush Creek, so soft and decadent that it’s often referred to as savory custard.  Each cheese is wrapped in spruce bark, which gives shape to the cheese and imparts a subtle woodsy flavor.

Before serving Rush Creek, bring the cheese to room temp or warm it gently in an oven.  When using an oven, remove the paper wrapping and either wrap the cheese in tin foil or cover it in a ceramic crock.  Place the cheese in a 250-degree oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the entire cheese becomes soft and warm.

Use a knife to cut around the perimeter of the cheese, just above the bark.  Lift off the rind and scoop out the soft interior with a spoon.  The rich, savory flavors are deep but delicate, and pair nicely with cured meats, roasted root vegetables and off-dry white wines.

Fudgy, pleasantly dank, and smooth in texture, this complex Vermonter comes from Jasper Hill, the great Northeast Kingdom cheesemakers.  It's slight funk make it the perfect gateway cheese for novices new to washed rind aromas.  Pair it with your favorite Chenin Blanc or Vouvray.

PASTEURIZED COW MILK AND CREAM | BLOOMY, ASHED RIND | DOUBLE-CREAM

The ash coating on this cheese serves a purpose beyond the aesthetically pleasing, stony complexion of its rind; it plays a part in tempering the fresh wheels’ surface pH and fosters the development of a thin, even bloom of flora. The extra cream and relatively long culturing time create an almost whipped texture, which coats the palate in buttery richness.

Feta Voras is made in the far Northwestern corner of Greece, in the province of Florina. This is mountainous land, covered in wildflowers and herbs.

It’s about as far away from the island of Lesbos and M. Tastanis’s feta as you can get and still be in Greece, but the cheese is still proper feta, recognized with the PDO protected status for traditional feta.

The small third generation firm, run by brothers Andreas and Sokratis, makes a creamy, crumbly cheese that you’ll want as a staple in your home.

HARBISON is named for Anne Harbison, affectionately known as the grandmother of Greensboro. Along with breathtaking views, traditions and people are part of what makes Vermont's working landscape special; we're proud to honor Ms. Harbison's contribution with this cheese.

Harbison is a soft-ripened cheese with a rustic, bloomy rind. Young cheeses are wrapped in strips of spruce cambium, the tree's inner bark layer, harvested from the woodlands of Jasper Hill. The spoonable texture begins to develop in our vaults, though the paste continues to soften on the way to market. Harbison is woodsy and sweet, balanced with lemon, mustard, and vegetal flavors.

PAIRING AND SERVICE — Harbison is a great excuse to gather a few friends and scoop into a decadent treat. When a bit younger, the bark can be peeled away for sliced portioning. If the bark has fused with a more loosened paste, then the best approach is to leave the bark intact and spoon out portions from the top. Pair with oakey white wine, or barrel-aged sour beer. Fruit mostarda and crusty bread make nice accompaniments.

Traditional Halloumi cheese made out of goat and sheep's milk, imported from Cyprus. Ideal for grilling and frying.
