$12/LB Tomme de Savoie (France), like most Tommes, is made from the skim milk left over after the cream is used to make butter or richer cheeses. As a result, the cheese has a relatively low fat content (between 20 and 45%). The cheese is made year-round, and typically has a slightly different character depending on whether the cows fed on winter hay or summer grass. The uneven color of the rind is a little weird.

$13/lb Valdeon D.O. - Semi Soft Blue Cheese (Spain) Voted the best Spainish Blue by the Spainish Cheesemakers Association. From a little valley in Spain’s largest national park between in Asturias and Leon (northwest Spain). A vibrant yet smooth blue cheese usually presented wrapped in maple leaves. It is made with a blend of cow’s, goat’s and sheep’s milk cheese, so it is a blend of milks. Depending on the season they will use more of one of the milks or other. A touch of artisan brilliance, alone or in recipes. The mixing of three milks and the brown tint makes this wierd.

Also see our cheeses flavored with cranberries, mustard seed, rosemary, smoke, truffles, or wine.
