Yes, Virginia, they do ship cheese!


At Christmas we were fabulously inundated with requests to ship cheese! And, we ship cheese throughout the year too! Not as much as then, (does Jennell seem a bit overwhelmed? - Never!) and we have a nicely appointed station in our basement organized and ready to create a great presentation with our WI cheeses for your friends and family! The USPS flat rate box program worked out well for us! What did we ship this year?

Some Tilston Point - a great "Stilton - esque" blue from Tony Hook at Mineral Point's Hooks Cheese. This salty, crunchy, pungent blue is a standout on any cheese plate!

A bit of Antonella - a great salsa infused creamy white cheese with cilantro around the rim. The cheese makes a beautiful presentation on a tray - I like to slice it lenthways, about an 1/8 inch slice, then make the cutest triangles with rounded edges.

Sartori's Bellevitano - both the Black Pepper Parmesan and Raspberry Soaked Ale Parmesan have been popular with our customers since we added them to our collection! These are also great with a fruit - forward Zinfandel or Cabernet Franc. HMMM!

It was a fun season - we saw a lot of our summer customers, and had a lot of help from our local community, so now in the quiet soup-days of mid-winter, we're reminiscing and thinking how fun it will be come summer!
