More Local Cheese, Please!

We asked our Gourmet Cheese Coordinator, Wade Johnson, for this take on local cheeses that are showing particularly well right now. Check out these featured cheeses:

Point Reyes Quinta: The lovely Quinta is a handcrafted soft-ripened, bloomy-rind cheese with a special touch of our local terroir made in Petaluma. It is topped with a CA Bay Laurel leaf and wrapped in a spruce bark that has been infused with the essence of the leaves. This enhances the herbal and brothy umami harmony of the cheese that makes you want to devour it as is. Besides eating it by the spoonful, I like to pair it with some nice, toasted bread, thinly sliced country style pate and topped with black cherry jam.

Valley Ford Estero Gold: Created as an homage to their Swiss-Italian heritage, Estero Gold is a Montasio style cheese that’s aged 6-8 months. This cheese boasts a smooth, buttery texture with grassy notes and a subtle tang.

Hop Along: Inspired by Trappist Monks, this rich, semi-firm, organic cow’s milk cheese is washed with organic cider. The nose is yeasty and sweet, reminiscent of an apple orchard, and the paste is pudgy with a silky mouthfeel. Each bite boasts flavors reminiscent of fresh milk, cream and a hint of salt.

Cowgirl Creamery Red Hawk: Bold and buttery, Cowgirl Creamery’s Red Hawk blends the best of both worlds by washing the rind of a triple cream brie. Vegetal aromas fill the air, and notes of umami and heavy cream overwhelm the palate with each bite.

Marin French Cheese Co. Petite Breakfast: The Marin French Cheese Company, known as the oldest continually operating creamery in the U.S., has been handcrafting American Original cheeses at its creamery since 1865. Made from the abundant local milk of neighboring family farms, Petite Breakfast, one of their most well known and loved cheeses, is a creamy, mild, fresh, brie inspired recipe.
