Cheese
Fromager D'Affinois
Fromager D'Affinois is a generous, melt-in-the-mouth cheese. Its rich and creamy soft texture releases a fresh and fine taste with a delicate flavor.
Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam
An organic American Original cheese recipe, our best-selling cheese has all the lusciousness you expect from a triple cream with a unique heart that upholds its texture. Named after the iconic landmark Mount Tamalpais that rises over the San Francisco Bay in Marin County, Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt Tam cheese is produced with organic, locally sourced milk and rises above the standard for bloomy rind cheeses. Mt Tam takes you from fudgey firmness to buttery softness with flavors spanning from bright creme fraiche to complex and mushroomy, evoking North Bay’s lush green and gold pastures.
Jasper Hill Harbison
Harbison is a soft-ripened cheese with a rustic, bloomy rind. Young cheeses are wrapped in strips of spruce cambium, the tree’s inner bark layer, harvested from the woodlands of Jasper Hill. The spoonable texture begins to develop in our vaults, though the paste continues to soften on the way to market. Harbison is woodsy and sweet, balanced with lemon, mustard, and vegetal flavors.
Central Coast Creamery Goat Cheddar
This semi-firm buttery cheddar has a mild yeasty quality that hints at fresh baked sourdough bread and fresh grass. It is sure to melt your heart as it melts in your mouth.
Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog
Fresh, tangy, and earthy — Fog Lights brings new depth and complexity to the Humboldt Fog family of cheeses. This dense and fudgy little goat cheese is ash covered and mold ripened, and like other soft-ripened cheeses, it continues to ripen from the outside in as it ages.
Beehive Cheese Company Barely Buzzed
The espresso and lavender rub imparts notes of butterscotch and caramel, which are prevalent near the rind, but find their way to the center of the cheese. This is a full-bodied cheese with a nutty flavor and smooth texture.
Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. Tomatruffle
TomaTruffle is the perfect combination of classic Toma paired with the aromatic flavors of Italian Black Truffles from Umbria. Reminiscent of undergrowth, fresh strawberries, dried fruit and a hint of cocoa, the earthy flavor marries beautifully with the buttery richness of Toma.
Ponce de Leon 6 month old Manchego
This Ponce de Leon 6 months old Manchego has a sweet, candied undertone that contributes to its popularity
Beecher's Flagship Cheese
Flagship is a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese with a uniquely robust, nutty flavor. It is carefully aged for 15 months to fully develop its complex flavor and ever-so-slight crumble.
Di Bruno Pinot Grigio and Fig Cheese Spread
A unique mix of subtly aromatic Pinot Grigio wine, with its delicate fruity notes, and fig's nutty, sweet presence. Blended with real Wisconsin cheese, this newest edition to our popular cheese spread lineup is quickly becoming a popular favorite.
Sweet Grass Dairy Pimento Cheese
Our Pimento Cheese is a unique adaptation of the classic recipe which includes our very own Thomasville Tomme, mayonnaise, piquillo pepper, and pimentón from Spain. This Southern classic has a slightly spicy, smokey flavor and a creamy, spreadable texture.
Nettle Meadow Honey Lavender Fromage Blanc

Olli Toscana salami Made with fennel pollen, conveying an aromatic licorice-like intensity that has long made it the pork enhancer of choice.
Brooklyn Cured Bresaola is best described as beef prosciutto. Dry-cured beef top round is elegant and lean, but when seasoned with porcini mushrooms and black pepper, its flavor gets funky and deep. It’s all about the umami with this one.
