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

Grey Barn & Farm | Eidolon, 14oz

$36.00
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.

My Favorite Part Of Winter!

I look forward to this cheese every year. It is a show-stopper on any cheeseboard and its pairings-- don't even get me started! This cheese is my excuse to keep potato chips in the house. It is so good, I have to ship my parents a wheel as well each season! Cannot wait to dig into a wheel this year.

Shipping Details

Hardware

If you have purchased cheese hardware from our Grotto collection, it usually takes us 1 to 3 business days to ship your order, unless otherwise listed on the respective product page.

Cheese Orders

As the cheeses are a fresh product, we want to ensure the quickest transit time as possible, so your order arrives in the best possible condition.  Express shipping costs range from $25 - $55 depending on the package size, delivery window, location and carrier. We ship Mondays only each week, and orders must be placed by Thursday the week prior to be included in Mondays shipments.  If you purchased a cheese subscription with a set shipping schedule (Meet the Makers or any Gift Subscription), please refer to the respective product page for the fixed shipping schedule.

International Orders

We are sorry, but we aren't legally allowed to ship cheese across the US border!  We can, however, ship our hardware from our Grotto collection worldwide.  Please note that the shipping costs options you see at checkout do not include customs, duties, and taxes which will be billed to you upon reaching the border, and will be an additional expense.  Those costs vary from country to country, but we recommend calculating at an additional 20% charge. If you refuse the package due to these additional fees and the hardware is returned to us, we will be able to issue a refund minus the outbound and return shipping costs.
