Cheese Styles Included
• Bloomy rind, Washed rind, Natural rind, Waxed rind, Blue, Smoked, Herbed, Spiced, Cow cheese, Sheep cheese, Goat cheese (unless otherwise requested in our preferences section)
• What are funky cheeses? We call blue cheeses and washed rind cheeses “funky cheeses” because they are stronger in flavor and aroma.
• What are flavored cheeses? We call cheeses infused with herbs, spices, and smoke “flavored cheeses” because the interior or exterior of the cheese has added flavor.
• The subscription includes three cheeses (1.5 pounds total) per shipment. The cheeses shipped are selected at optimal ripeness and best enjoyed within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.
• One serving of cheese is anywhere from 2 to 4 ounces, depending on your appetite. This package is great for 6 to 12 servings over weeks of enjoyment.
October's Pizza-Themed Box
Calabro Whole Milk Mozzarella, 8oz
This low moisture Mozzarella is made using a natural fermentation process, which produces a consistent melt and flavorful, buttery flavor. It has a denser texture and a tangier, saltier flavor than mild, milky fresh mozzarella. Its most popular use is on top of pizza, but it can be sliced or grated and added to lasagna, sandwiches, quiche, dips, and so much more. It is also great for cheese platters and snacking.
Deer Creek Wild Boar Truffle Jack, 8oz
Earthy black truffle ambles between creamy Monterey Jack curds to craft the decadent yet approachable sensory experience that is The Wild Boar. Each bite transports your palate to the Wisconsin North with the savory truffles’ warm and woodsy notes coupled with mild, buttery cheese. This charming and aromatic Jack easily finds its home on a board or melted into dishes for a delightfully mushroomy finish..
Redhead Creamery St. Anthony Extra-Aged, 8oz
This limited-release extra-aged version of Redhead Creamery's St. Anthony cheese is beautiful shaved over finished pizza. It naturally has meaty undertones from its washed rind so it brings out the umami notes of tomato sauce and pepperoni.

What Is Artisan Cheese?
According to the American Cheese Society, "artisan or artisanal implies that a cheese is produced primarily by hand, in small batches, with particular attention paid to the tradition of the cheesemaker’s art, and thus using as little mechanization as possible in the production of the cheese."
Over the past decade, the American artisan cheese community has been recognized internationally for its quality and integrity. Small to medium-scale artisan cheesemakers have a core set of values: High-quality milk makes incredible cheese, and high-quality land and animal management makes for incredible milk. In our industrial food system, committing to these core values requires long hours of hard work and strict attention to detail.
Our monthly subscription directly supports American artisan cheesemakers and the strengthening and diversification of our food system.
