Now is the season for rich, deep flavors, and that's no different in the world of cheese. Some of the finest cheeses we offer all year are at their best right now, and they pair perfectly with the flavors of the season. Some of our favorites include Jasper Hill Harbison, Redhead Creamery North Fork Munster and Saint Angel Triple Crème. Harbison, a spoonable, custardy, mushroomy cheese wrapped in spruce bark, won Best in Show at the 2018 American Cheese Society Awards. Local Redhead Creamery's washed-rind North Fork Munster won Best Artisan Cheese at the 2018 Minnesota State Fair. Rich and decadent Saint Angel has a buttery texture and taste that screams special occasion. Round out the selection with our exclusive salty and nutty Signature cheeses, a pungent yet sweet choice from the blue family, and seasonal accompaniments.
