The Fable

The cows have come home with this easy, breezy beauty.

In late August, summer breezes caress the Allegheny plateau, carrying the familiar scent of overripe blackberries and the new scent of ripening apples straight to the noses of our cows, tinkling their cowbells and tickling their long ears. It’s a time of ripeness, wholeness, and just plain summeriness. A good time to make cheese.

The freshest cow’s milk is first pasteurized and cooled to the perfect temperature for bacteria to do their best work. The milk is then fortified with Penicillium Candidum. Vegetarian rennet is added, coagulating the milk and creating a stronger curd mass bond, faster, which is then cut into cubes, stirred, drained of whey, stirred again, then drained again. From there, it’s scooped into molds, brined, and aged. During this time, you’ll find our makers regularly flipping the cheese (yes, by hand) to ensure even moisture and rind development. The result is a rich, buttery flavor and texture that would make France’s Saint Andre proud.
