Blue Earth is a soft-ripened cheese created by Alemar Cheese out of Mankato, Minnesota. A creamy brie with vegetal notes countered by a buttermilk tang. This is a very approachable cheese without being boring.

Named after Judy Schad’s redheaded granddaughter, Piper, this velvety, fudgy goat’s milk cheese has a dusting of bright red paprika under its white rind. As it ages, the subcutaneous paste begins to soften and ooze. Don’t worry if you see occasional spots of blue-green mold, but educate your customers and friends of its natural evolution. Its flavor is refreshing and lactic,...

Winnimere is a take on Jura Mountain classics like Vacherin Mont d’Or or Försterkäse. In keeping with tradition, this decadent cheese is made only during winter months when Jasper Hill’s Ayrshire cows are giving rich, hay-fed raw milk. Young cheeses are wrapped in strips of spruce cambium, the tree’s flexible inner bark layer, harvested from Jasper Hill’s woodlands....

Made with three types of chilies, Grafton uses habanero (fruity, citrusy heat), jalapeño (green, vegetal notes) and pasilla (dried fruit flavors) chilies. The cheddar is then smoked over maple wood chips for a smoky finish.

Oma is an American original,  an intriguing but approachable washed-rind cheese that balances pungent and sweet flavors. The paste is soft, buttery, and almost pudding-like, but never runny. The rind is thin and mild for the style – an earthy foil to notes of roasted nuts and sweet cream.

Kinsman Ridge is a semi-soft, tomme-style cheese with aromas of fresh butter, forest and cured meat. Young wheels are washed with brine before a natural, mottled rind is cultivated. During ageing Kinsman’s interior transitions from smooth and firm to a more giving and creamy consistency. Flavors are rich, savory, and softly floral, with hints of roasted artichoke and asparagus.
