by a fifth generation family owned and operated creamery in northern Italy.

Le Pico

Southwest France

Le Pico Germain is a true cheese from the French terroirs, made from goat’s milk. Under its slightly downy rind hides a center which evolves with maturing. Le Pico is mild, with a creamy surface and a firm, melty center. Drink with your favorite robust red wine!

Morbier

Jura Mountains, France

Morbier was originally made by cheesemakers who lived in the village of Morez in the Jura Mountains of France. About two hundred years ago when Morbier was first made it was made strictly for the cheesemakers consumption. They used leftover curd from Comte production. You’ll note the look of this cheese is quite distinctive with its horizontal gray-black line running through its middle. This line is actually a mixture of edible vegetable ash. The cheesemaker would press the leftover curd from the evening's production of Comte into a round mold and cover that curd with a thin layer of ash to prevent it from drying out. The next day he pressed the leftover morning curd on top of the ash. You could tell which layer of the cheese came from the evening milking since it tastes fruitier than that from the morning milking. 

Great with pinot noir and pairs well with scallops, fennel, green apple and caramel.

Nettle

Indianapolis, IN

A fresh cheese, bright and crumbly, similar in texture to Chevre only made with cows milk from Tulip Tree Creamery covered with mint, garlic, salt & nettle leaves on the outside for a super fresh finish. Serve for brunch with your favorite local bagels, smoked fish or bacon.

Purple Moon Cheddar

California

Purple Moon Cheddar is truly one of a kind and often described as the perfect wine and cheese pair. To create this uniquely colored and flavorful cow’s milk cheese we soak our Farmhouse Cheddar in a locally produced California red wine.
