First Cheese Pickup!

Hey everyone,

Welcome to the Cheese Co-op! The first pick-up will occur on Wednesday from 5 pm to 7 pm in the storage room off the back of Weshop (it is the building nearest to Church street; this space is also used by the Fruit and Veggie Co-op). The first round of cheeses will be Dutch Farmstead and Vivace Bambino. Check out the descriptions below!

Dutch Farmstead
Creamy and mild with a slight nutty undertone and a rich, round, well-balanced flavor, the Dutch Farmstead is our variation on Gouda. Consistently one of our favorites, the Dutch was recognized by both Saveur magazine in 2005 and Slow Food USA in 2003 as one of the best American raw milk farmstead cheeses. Ideal for sandwiches or with crackers and wine, Dutch Farmstead is creamier and sweeter than Bridgid's Abbey. Melts well. Aged 2 - 3 months.

Vivace Bambino
Our young Vivace is sweet, chewy and moist, a medium mild cheese with a flavor like Swiss Emmental. It is excellent for sandwiches, antipasto, or melting. Made with vegetarian marzyme rennet, Vivace Bambino is aged 2 to 3 months.

Keep your eyes on our blog for food pairings and recipe ideas!

Looking forward to cheese consumption,

-The Cheese Co-Op
