Long Description

These cheese styles are descended from a variety of Pyrenees mountain cheeses and have continually won Best in Show at the American Cheese Society since 1993. This package highlights the variety within this mountain style.

From top to bottom:

Queso Invierno, 1/3 pound - Invierno (or “winter” in Spanish) is a soft to semi-hard natural rind cheese made with winter milk, aged 5-6 months. The cheese is a blend of cow milk from a neighboring farm and sheep milk from Vermont Shepherd. Invierno is a versatile cheese with a rich, butter and mushroom flavor.

Queso Verano, 1/3 pound - Verano (or "summer" in Spanish) is a soft to semi-hard 100% sheep milk cheese made with summer milk, aged 5-6 months. More earthy than invierno, this cheese is truly one-of-a-kind.

Queso Invierno Extra Aged, 1/3 pound - The two year old version of Invierno is more crystalline and piquante than its younger version.

Creamy flavorful

I’ve heard about the wonderfulness of Harbison, so when I had the change ordered a couple small wheels - it lives up to it’s reputation - creamy, flavorful, totally enjoyable.

Wagyu and More!

I recently received my Cheese Grotto selections of Wagyu Bresaola, Wild Rosemary from Goat Rodeo, Marin French Cheese Petite Camembert and Sour Cherry Pomegranate Conserve. At a small dinner party they were so popular I worried guests would want to skip dinner and just dwell on the charcuterie offerings! It was wonderful to have a unique goat cheese offering for my guest who limits dairy. The conserve has enhanced meat, cheese, and bread at my table. I recommend all of these items from Cheese Grotto.

Chocolates

While the service accommodations were awesome and the chocolates were divine, they were much smaller than expected. I am not sure I could afford them again given the size of the chocolates with that price.

Well balanced cheddar

I’ve been enjoying this with flax and poppy seed crackers. Not too sharp and has a subtle nutty flavor that the crackers being out.

Lisa, we love this cheddar so much haha! We're so happy you also enjoy it, it is wonderfully complex and nuanced without being too aggressive. And the flavor just lasts and lasts.
