Cow Cheese
Blue Yonder
Blue Yonder is a cow’s milk blue cheese. Both subtle and complex, this creamy cheese is very approachable. While the rich Holstein milk from which it is made gives the paste lovely yellow tones, it is marbled throughout with pockets and veins of deep blue.
Gorge Trail Gouda
Our Gouda is a traditional Dutch-style Gouda. It is made from very fresh, local cow’s milk, then aged for around six months, until it has reached the peak of ripeness. Gorge Trail Gouda is a richly flavored cheese with the mellow, buttery flavors that is complemented by a subtle creamy texture.
Lake Effect Cheddar
Typically made the same day as the milking, our Lake Effect Cheddar is made from extremely fresh, local cow’s milk. It is generally aged for six months and exhibits a nice blend of traditional cheddar “sharpness” with a pleasing nuttiness that is rare in American Cheddars.
Shire
Shire is the result of a collaboration with Hopshire Brewing in Dryden, NY. It is made by soaking the Gorge Trail Gouda in Shire Ale, a dark malty Scotch Ale, for three days. The resulting cheese is imbued with the toasty flavors of the dark malt and a slight coffee-like bitterness.
