…and a new cheese is born!

With an abundance of sweet milk and a little creativity, our focus turns to a new cheese we will call Canaan Mountain Gruyere. Named after the Gruyere district of Switzerland where it originated, Gruyere is a Nutty, spicy, full flavor cheese. Dry aged and washed rind, this hard cheese makes a delicious table cheese or the basic ingredient in a fondue and it pairs well with a nice Pinot Noir or even a stout lager beer. We are making this cheese in 40 pound wheels, 18 inches across and 5 inches high. Ripening time is about 5 months so check back after the first of the year.

We may not have the Swiss Alps or the lush green mountain pastures but we do have the beautiful Brown Swiss cows.

Although not certified organic, we do pay very close attention to our cows diet, hormone and antibiotic free with good sweet alfalfa hay and a special dairy mix to complete a total ration.

Here are some other cheeses coming out soon.

Cocoa Romano: currently 8 months old. Available early spring.
