Allegheny Chèvre

Fresh, un-ripened goat's milk cheese.

Allegheny Chèvre is our fresh goat's milk cheese. It is a traditional chèvre: crumbly in texture with a clean and tangy flavor. It is a versatile ingredient in everyday cooking -- the perfect creamy addition to your meal.

Bûche Noire

A ripened log brushed with vegetable ash.

Bûche Noire -- "black log" -- is a sophisticated, aged chèvre log first coated in vegetable ash and then aged for several weeks to develop a white-bloomed rind. The result is delicious: a rapidly maturing flavor and texture certain to please the most discerning of palates.

Merry Goat Round

A beautiful, soft-ripened bloomy round.

Merry Goat Round is a surface-ripened goat’s milk round -- our homage to brie or camembert. It ripens from its rind inwards, growing progressively softer and creamier.

MountainTop Bleu

Soft-ripened, blue & white mold pyramid.

Mountain Top Bleu is a surface-ripened blue and white mold pyramid. It ripens from its rind inwards, growing progressively softer and creamier.

Cabra La Mancha

Washed-rind, semi-soft wheel.

Cabra La Mancha — or "goat from La Mancha" — is a Spanish-inspired, semi-soft, washed rind wheel. The rind is completely edible at any stage of the cheese’s ripening. In fact, the cheese’s fullest flavor is concentrated in its rind.

Black & Blue

Deeply blued, waxed-rind wheel.

Black & Blue will leave you aching for more! Cut into its black-waxed exterior and you'll be thrilled to find a rich, dense, buttery, stark-white cheese that is deeply blued throughout its interior. Its lusty taste will thrill any true-blue lover!

Bella Vita

Italian-style, long-aged wheel.

Bella Vita — the beautiful life — is a deliciously inspired Italian-style cheese. This lower moisture, rustic cheese is aged for several months before it leaves us, and it can continue maturing for up to a full year. Bella Vita has sharp, nutty flavors.
