Camembert (~9oz)
Chimacum Valley Dairy (Chimacum)
Milk: Cow
Texture: Soft-ripened
Age: 2 weeks

This soft-ripened Camembert transforms beautifully as it matures. When young, it has a firm texture and a mellow flavor with a tantalizing hint of tartness. As it ages, the cheese softens and develops a deeper, more full-bodied flavor with a smooth, creamy texture. At full maturity, it becomes decadently gooey with a rich, buttery center and a complex, robust, earthy aroma that comes alive at room temperature.

Domenica (~6oz)
Fantello Farmstead Creamery (Enumclaw)
Milk: Cow
Texture: Semi-soft
Age: 1 year

Domenica is a raw milk Tomme-style cheese made only during the spring and early summer, when our cows are grazing on lush pastures filled with clover and wild grasses. During this short window, the milk is especially rich in butterfat, giving the cheese a golden, creamy paste with buttery, nutty notes. The rind is lightly washed with hard apple cider from our neighbors at Rockridge Orchards in Enumclaw, adding a subtle, fruity depth. Domenica also melts beautifully, perfect for raclette-style dishes.

Halloumi (~7oz)
Lost Peacock Creamery (Olympia)
Milk: Goat
Texture: Semi-soft
Age: Fresh

Crafted in small batches from the milk of our pasture-raised goats, our halloumi is a firm, grillable cheese with a satisfyingly squeaky bite. Naturally rich and tangy thanks to our goat milk, this cheese holds its shape when pan-fried or grilled, developing a golden crust while staying tender inside. Serve it warm with a drizzle of honey, tucked into grain bowls, or as a stand-in for meat on the grill. It’s simple, old-fashioned cheese made from real milk, real goats, and real flavor—no additives, no shortcuts, just pure, honest magic.

Whatcom Blue (~7oz)
Twin Sisters Creamery (Ferndale)
Milk: Goat
Texture: Semi-soft
Age: 60 days

A raw milk blue cheese aged for a minimum of 60 days, developing a full-bodied, creamy texture and a savory flavor profile. Marbled with striking ribbons of blue, it stands proudly on any cheese board and elevates a wide range of recipes. Plus, it melts beautifully, too!
