The Story

Elaine is named after my dearest friend's middle name. To the one that comes to visit every chance she gets so that we can have friend time. To the one that sends packages in the mail "just because." To the one that works so hard and is becoming a nurse practitioner. To the one that will do anything for anyone and never expect anything in return. This cheese if for you, Steph! Elaine is a soft-ripened back peppercorn infused bloomy rind cheese that is coated in ash. It is aged to peak creaminess, with a luscious, velvety interior that unfolds like twilight on the tongue Hints of mushroom and sweet cream, give way to a slow, savory bloom-subtle yet satisfying.
