Like a fine wine …
All our cheeses have been ageing for a minimum of 60 days. After 60 days, they are carefully and lovingly tested for optimum flavor. Some are returned to the aging cave, others are released for sale. For 2008, we have decided to wax all our cheeses. If you find a mold under the wax, this is normal and a thin outer layer should be cut and discarded.
Our 2008 vintage includes three cheeses: All weights are approximate and may vary slightly, as all cheeses are hand made in the true artisan fashion. Weight displayed is a minimum weight. |

Molino
| To capture the flavor of an ancient cheese, made so famous by a Spanish region and its famous son Don Quixote, was an elaborate procedure of studying the climate, forage and type of milk used. The La Mancha area of Spain was named by Arab occupants “al mansha”, which means “land without water”, describing the torrid summer months, lack of lakes and rivers, and harsh winter months. What better area then the plains of eastern Colorado to elaborate this fine cheese. We have lovingly created our “Flor de Queso”, “Fleur de Fromage”, “Flower of all cheeses”. Our Molino is a cheese full of character and identity. It is a pressed cheese made with raw goat milk, aged at least 60 days and coated with black wax. |

Montagnard
| The Pyrenees separate two countries that have long traditions of cheese making and culinary art: Spain and France. Our Montagnard captures the height and rustic tradition of aged mountain goat cheese found in these mountains. We lovingly wash and turn our tomme every day once they are placed in our underground aging cave. This subterranean home of all our aged cheeses, with its constant level of temperature and humidity, slowly turns this cheese into a masterpiece of mountain cheese. This cheese deserves a plate of sweet grapes, juicy apples or ripe figs as accompaniment. Red Rioja, Sangre de Torro, or a hearty Muscat de Rivesaltes would marry well with this cheese. Coated with red and black or white and black wax. |

Cremolé
This creamy, semi-soft, aged cheese finds its origins in the plains of Holland. It has a very delicate flavor when eaten at 60 days, and becomes slightly more pronounced with age. It has a buttery, smooth flavor and just seems to melt in your mouth. To categorize it is difficult, but it is somewhat of a cross between a Butterkaese, a Havarti and a Gouda, but made of raw goat milk. It is an excellent table cheese, but will also do well in a salad or melted. We developed this cheese for those who prefer a delicate more subtle, yet not bland-tasting cheese. Coated with white wax.
