Cheese Plate     18

Today's Trio of Cheese:

***Blue Bell***    (Valley Milkhouse, Oley, PA)

*Cow, Raw*

A rustic, savory, raw milk blue cheese in the style of stilton. Roasty, toasty baked cracker notes and a fudgy, creamy texture. Pair with spiced jams, dried fruits and sweet beer or wine.

***Noblette***  (Calkins Creamery, Honesdale, PA)

*Cow, Pasteurized*

Soft, fresh pastured baby brie. Petite and dainty, like an elegant and more interesting cousin of brie. Notes of herbs and mushrooms with a buttery finish.

***Springdell***   (The Farm at Doe Run, Unionville, PA)

*Cow/Goat, Pasteurized*

A seasonal Gouda/Alpine hybrid made with a mix of cow and goat’s milk. Creamy texture with caramel and nutty flavors. The aging process makes it crystalline and dense with tons of flavor. Great for beer pairing with an IPA, porter, or pale ale.
