La Cabezuela
This goat’s milk cheese is made by Royuela Cheese Company in Madrid, Spain. It is made uniquely from the milk of the endangered Guadarrama breed. Guadarrama goats get their name from the region where they originate, also known as the Community of Madrid. These goats have lived in the mountainous region outside of Madrid since the 17th century. The Royuela-Campo family who were interested in protecting the Guadarrama goats as well as the local cheese making tradition developed this cheese. The goats graze on local pastures of grass, heather, acorn, and thyme. La Cabezuela is semi-firm, with a fluffy white rind. Notes of lemon, mushrooms, and fresh herbs are present in the dense, crumbly paste.
Raclette Night!
Wednesday Evenings 6pm to 8pm
Brrr! It’s cold out there! What better way to warm up than with a plate of hot melty cheese. Raclette Night is Wednesday evenings from 6-8 (or until the cheese runs out) through the spring. It is $7 for a small plate of potatoes, ham, cornichons, mustard, with broiled Raclette cheese. See you there!

CHEESE BEER WINE CIDER:
A Field Guide to 75 Perfect Pairings
By Steve Jones & Adam Lindsley
We are extremely proud and excited to announce the upcoming release of Steve Jones & Adam Lindsley’s new book, CHEESE BEER WINE CIDER: A Field Guide to 75 Perfect Pairings. As the title suggests, it’s all about taking a great cheese and finding the very best beer, cider, or wine to drink with it. You may be surprised by the results! Along the way, you’ll learn about goats, cheese crystals, cider apples, and a smattering of other fun topics related to the stuff you’ll be eating. Steve and Adam spent the last three years eating gobs of cheese and drinking gallons of alcohol (“research,” you see) to ensure only the very best pairings make it to your cheese plates.
Their new book will be released March 19, 2019! It is available for pre-order on Amazon.com. Just follow this LINK to order a copy of your book now!
