🛸🧀 Our first Paint and Pizza Night was out of this world! 🍕👽

The pizza was hot and cheesy, and the artists were so creative! I had so much fun watching their visions come to life.

We've scheduled our second one for Friday, November 3rd. Mark your calendars amd watch for the link to purchase tickets. The topic will have a spooky/autumn theme.

Have you tried sheep milk cheese yet? The flavor

Have you tried sheep milk cheese yet?

The flavor of cheese is largely determined by the fat and protein in milk, and sheep milk is higher in fat and protein than cow or goat milk. Thus, the flavor of sheep milk cheese will be richer and creamier with a distinct depth of flavor and hint of sweetness. It's also more common to find goat and cow milk cheese in Pennsylvania, so when I do find a cheese made from sheep milk, I celebrate!

The pictured cheese is MarkJego, a Manchego style cheese made by @raspberryridgecreamery in Northampton County, Pa. Originally hailing from the La Mancha region of Spain, this style of cheese is crafted from 100% sheep's milk. This local version yields an intensely rich experience with a distinct nutty flavor, firm yet crumbly texture and a hint of salt on the finish. The rind of this cheese is rubbed with olive oil as it ages, which contributes a rich mouthfeel.

Why am I telling you about it today? This is the last wheel I'll have vailable until next spring.

Oktoberfest starts tomorrow!

🍺 + 🧀 is a great combination so we made some beer cheese spread to celebrate! And you know we love a reason to celebrate.

We used sharp cheddar, barleywine-washed cheddar, horseradish and mustard cheddar and cup cheese (yes, cup cheese!) with German-Style Weizen from @desperate.times.brewing. 🤤

Buy a single or shareable PA Dutch grazing board during Oktoberfest (Sept. 16-Oct 3) and we'll add a serving of the spread for you to try! It's also available in 4 and 8 oz containers for purchase.

The weeks are flying by so fast! The cheese shop has only been open for 5 months but I feel like we've been through 6 different seasons. Things are shaping up to match my dreams. Slowly, but it is happening.

Fortunately, two things haven't changed; 1) We still focus on only sourcing and selling delicious Pennsylvania made cheeses and 2) Occasionally, I get to visit farmers and cheesemakers!

If you haven't been in yet, visit us this week to try a grazing board or panini. Both feature Pennsylvania cheeses!

One of the small pleasures of my job is unwrapping a new cheese and just enjoying all the little things that make it unique.

Meet Willow from @thefarmatdoerun

This beauty is made from a mix of milks (cow, sheep, and goat) plus geotrichum candidum, a well-known cheese culture, to deliver a French-inspired masterpiece. Modeled after Neufchatel cheese, Willow delivers a bright lactic yet creamy flavor with a hint of earthy musk.

It's an elegant cheese that would make a great gift. It also pairs nicely with a crisp white wine. Try a sauvignon blanc!

🧀Hey cheese lovers🧀

@caputobrotherscreamery frozen mozzarella curd is available again!

Say goodbye to bland mozzarella and hello to creating your own fresh pulled mozzarella at home! 🙌🙌🙌

I like to eat my mozzarella with ripe peaches, basil and balsamic vinegar - it's a symphony for your taste buds! 🎶 The creaminess of the mozzarella perfectly complements the sweet, juicy peaches, creating a heavenly balance of flavors and textures. Each bite is a burst of summer in your mouth! Of course, you can substitute tomatoes for peaches.

Grab your frozen mozzarella curd today and experience the joy of creating your own cheesy masterpiece at home. It's a 20-minute, super fun process or you can order ready-to-eat fresh pulled mozzarella with us to pick it up at the shop and we'll do the work for you!
