Zoom Cheese Grotto Grey Barn & Farm | Eidolon, 14oz

Grey Barn & Farm | Eidolon, 14oz

off
Each day, Grey Barn & Farm's team of four cheesemakers on Martha's Vineyard carefully turn the wheels of Eidolon cheese as it ages, and the bloomy rind is patted down. Eidolon evolves through two distinctive flavor profiles as it matures. In its younger stage, Eidolon’s bloomy rind features hints of portobello mushroom, complemented by a citric, lemony, and tangy firm center. As the cheese ages, the flavor profile deepens, offering earthy notes of the forest floor, cultured butter, and a nuanced hint of something reminiscent of potato chips. With time, the texture transforms from a firm center to a satiny, gooey, flowing paste, achieving its peak ripeness for a truly indulgent experience.

About the Producer

Grey Barn & Farm is a small, diversified New England family farm located on Martha's Vineyard. Their cheeses are certified organic and critically acclaimed. Founded in 2009 by Eric and Molly Glasgow, Grey Barn is one of the few entirely grassed-based dairies in the country, meaning the cows rely on nutrition provided by the pasture in the summer and dry hay in the winter. Their cows are a blend of hardy Dutch Belted and Normande genetics, providing superior milk for cheesemaking.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with sparkling white wine, apricot or fig jam, and prosciutto.

The Cheese Grotto is fantastic - it keeps my blocks of cheese fresher for longer periods of time, unwrapped in all their glory.

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.
