This Week's Tasting

Every week at Dairymaids we select six cheeses to include in our free cheese tasting. Whenever we are open, we are tasting cheese. We stock over 150 cheeses, so if these 6 don’t please you, we will find you the cheeses that do.

This week's cheese are:

The cheese named Three Sisters is from its unique combination of  three milks: cow, goat and sheep milk. It comes to us from New York's Nettle Meadow Dairy and is a bloomy-rinded soft cheese of complex and tangy flavor. 

White Buck is the Bucheron-style goat's milk cheese from Westfield Farms in Hubbardston, MA. This small cylinder has a delightfully clean flavor. As it ripens, the texture softens and flavor becomes more piquant.

When you see an orange cheddar, you can almost always place a bet that it's from Wisconsin. The bright orange color is thanks to the addition of annatto and is used with pride by award-winning cheesemaker Chris Roelli. His latest is Roelli Haus Select, a savory Wisconsin cheddar aged over a year.

Our international selection this week hails from Germany: Adelegger. Adelegger is made with organic milk from seven different farmers and is repeatedly washed with herb-infused white wine.  Aged 14-18 months, this cheese has flavors of pineapple, peanuts, and brown butter.

Cheesemaker and Texan Ann Jones of Flower Mound enjoys playing with traditional cheese recipes - instead of using cow's mllk, she opts for goat's milk. Latte Da Cotswold is no different, an English cheese flavored with onion and chives, but as an aged goats cheese. Imagine a healthy alternative to Sour Cream and Onion potato chips!

A Rogue Creamery favorite, Smokey Blue finishes out the plate this week. This blue is cold smoked over Oregan hazelnut shells and is reminiscent of candied bacon. We are also featuring this during this week's Pub Night at Saint Arnold - it is excellent with Art Car IPA! 

Wine of the week is Qupe, which is a modern red from California.

We will be pairing our cheeses this week with Big Creek Farms' single-source varietal Mesquite honey. Harvested from South Texas, this honey is lightly floral and lusciously sweet. It is wonderful with sheep milk cheeses and Marcona almonds.
