Marinated Labneh
To create this award-winning Mediterranean soft cheese, we make yogurt with pasteurized cows milk and drain it through cheesecloth until it is thick. We then spice it with fresh garlic, parsley and salt. We shape it in balls and drop it in olive oil with peppercorns, fresh herbs and dried red pepper for garnish. Delicious on pita bread and crackers or as a vegetable dip. Use the flavored oil on salads.

CHEDDAR: Our clothbound cheddar is aged in the traditional method of wrapping in cheesecloth instead of vacuum-packaging, which allows it to breathe. It develops a nutty flavor after 6 months.
FETA: This whole, raw cow milk cheese is aged in a whey brine for 60 days resulting in a creamy texture paired with tangy, savory taste.
MARINATED FETA: Made with whole raw cow milk and aged 60 days, this feta has a bold aroma with a firm but delicate texture. The cheese, marinated in extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh garlic and an assortment of herbs, provides for a unique combination of complementary flavors and textures. Use the flavored oil on salads or on bread.
MONTASIO: Pronounced Mon-tah-see-yo, this is an old Italian monastery recipe. When aged for 8 weeks it has a creamy texture, but after a year of aging it develops a sweet, caramelized flavor.

How Long Should My Cheese Last?
All of our wedges of cheese are labeled on the back with a sell by date. The cheese will be good for 2-4 weeks after this date.
After a week or two the cheese forms a thin film of mold on the surface. This is simply the good molds and bacterias that are naturally in the cheese and does not affect the quality. When you are ready to eat the cheese, simply shave off the surface with a sharp knife.
Once you open the cheese and cut into it, save the rest by wrapping it in wax paper or Saran Wrap. If you are traveling home with your cheese, you will want to make sure it is sealed well. As long as it is not open to airflow it will be good at room temperature for a day.
The Marinated Feta and Labneh is covered in oil which serves as a natural preservative and allows the cheese to ship and travel unrefrigerated for a week. It will keep in your refrigerator for at least 6 months.
Once you use some of the cheese, store the remainder by pushing the cheese down with a spoon to ensure it is submerged in the oil and store it in a refrigerator.
The blue and brie cheeses will last for a couple months after purchase and just get stronger with age.
We hope you enjoy our cheese!
