Artesian cheese making in the Unite States is enjoying a renaissance in recent years. There is a greater emphasis placed on locally grown, regional food. Those expert cheese makers, the French, describe it as gout du terroir or “taste of a place”. This refers to the unique characteristics connected to the land. Climate, pasturage, the breed of animal and the care they received, the season of the year and even the time of day all contribute to the quality of the milk and ultimately the cheese that is made from it.
It is our pleasure to offer some of the best
cheese the Northwest has to offer. Our selection of domestic artisan
cheeses is always changing. Come by and see what's new each week!
Keen's Farmhouse Cheddar
from Somerset, UK
Moorhayes Farm
This is a traditional English cheddar. Made with raw cow's milk and aged for 10-18 months. It's not super sharp, but more balanced in flavor, with a smooth texture. The flavor is rich, nutty, complex, and lasts a long time. At the end, there is a bit of a tangy bite. Truly lovely. One of the finest cheeses coming from the British Isles.
