Domestic Artisan Cheeses

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

We are making a commitment to American Artisan cheeses here at The Cheese Board and will have fresh deliveries every other week. This totally compliments our involvement with the Slow Food movement and the support of small farmers across America. America is such an amazing country and sometimes we just have to look in our own backyard…

Constant Bliss is made at Jasper Hill Farms, a small farm in Greensboro, Vermont.  Made from raw, uncooled, evening Ayershire cow’s milk, it is aged for 60 days. It is a soft, mild-ripened drum of yumminess. Constant Bliss gets its name from a revolutionary war scout killed in Greensboro guarding the Bayley Hazen Military Road. $14.00 each

Barely Buzzed is a hand-made cheese made by brothers-in-law, Tim Welsh and Pat Ford, at Beehive Cheese Creamery in Utah. It is a creamy, nutty cheese encased in an irresistible rind of crushed lavender and exotic coffee. Barely Buzzed won the American Cheese Society competition in 2007 and has an intriguing flavor combination that is a delight on the tongue. $15.00 per half pound

Cowgirl Creamery named its signature cheese MT TAM in deference to the beautiful Mt. Tamalpais in Northern California. It’s smooth, creamy, elegant, 10 oz triple cream made with tasty organic mild from the Straus Family Dairy. MT TAM is firm with a texture of beaten butter and a mellow, earthy flavor reminiscent of white mushrooms. MT TAM placed first at the Los Angeles County Fair, in 2008 and second the American Cheese Society in 2008.
