Cheese Plate     18

Today's trio of cheese:

 ***Moo & Blue***   (Firefly Farms, Accident, MD)

 * Cow, Pasteurized *

A dense, buttery and rich blue cheese with mild sweetness and really clean flavor. Aged for at least 4 months.

   ***Aged Seven Sisters***  (The Farm at Doe Run, Coatesville, PA)

 * Cow, Raw *

Aged 12-24 months. A cross between Alpine and Gouda. The cheese is aged in stone caves located below the dairy farm. Firm, with a natural rind.
