Chevre from Crystal Brook Farm (Sterling, MA) is an Abbey favorite! This goat’s cheese is exceptionally smooth and creamy

Shy Brother’s Hannahbells (Westport, MA) are thimble in size; a French style soft cow cheese with a mild yet grassy flavor named after “Hannah”… the shy brothers’ Mom.

Cato Corner Farm Fromage d’O’Cow (Colchester, CT) is brine washed with a heady aroma. This raw milk cow cheese is moderately pungent
with a supple texture and delightful aftertaste… if you like stinky cheeses!

Boggy Meadow Fiddlehead Tomme (Walpole, NH) is a raw cow’s milk cheese with a natural rind cheese, cave-aged for over 6 months to create a rich semi-hard cheese with flavors that are balanced and grassy, with clean lactic notes.

Blue Ledge Farm Camembrie (Salisbury, VT) is made with fresh Ayrshire cow’s milk.  This is a smooth mold-ripened Camembert/Brie hybrid! A slice of buttery bovine heaven!

Spring Brook Farm Raclette (Reading, VT) is traditionally made in both Switzerland and France, so we are very, very excited to have an American version from the Green Mountain State. This high quality cheese comes from high quality milk, from a small herd of only 40 Jersey cows seasonally. Reading Raclette is mild, semi-soft cheese that has flavors of sweet milk, with a sour, tart rind.

Twin Maple Hudson Red (Ghent, NY) is made from raw Jersey Cow milk that is aged for a minimum of 60 days. This cheese offers a depth of flavor with a soft paste and a pungent tacky rind from its weekly brine washing in the tradition of an Alsatian Muenster.

5 Spoke Creamery Talcott (Lancaster County, PA) is an unpasteurized cheese made from raw cows milk of grass-fed Holsteins. This multi-layered cave-aged cheese captures the richness of the meadow. A robust, semi-soft farmstead cheese with a two-tone flavor that develops over 7-8 months; Talcott is creamy at the outer areas and drier towards the middle finishing with tangy notes.

Shepherd’s Way Big Woods Blue (Nerstrand, MN) is a full-flavored blue sheep milk cheese that blends the creaminess of sheep milk with an open texture and spicy, complex flavor. One of the best blue cheeses made in America, it has finished top in its class twice at the American Cheese Society.

Point Reyes Blue (Point Reyes Station, CA) is creamy with an elusive, salty flavor that is attributed to the coastal fog & briny breezes that cascade over the cow’s pasture. Point Reyes is aged for at least 6mos. giving it plenty of time to develop its sea-blue veins & deep, luscious flavor.

Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog (Arcata, CA) is a pasteurized Cultured Goat’s Milk Cheese is an elegant, soft, surface ripened cheese. The texture is creamy & luscious with a subtle tangy flavor. Each handcrafted wheel features a ribbon of edible vegetable ash along its center.
