Castelbelbo
With Piedmont on our minds we decided to remind you about one of our favorite cheeses, Castelbelbo. Castelbelbo is made by Caseificio dell’alta Langa in Bosia, Italy. Castelbelbo is a large-format robiola, a style that originates in Piedmont. Robiolas are traditionally thin rinded, soft-ripened, mixed milk cheeses. Castelbelbo is made from a blend of cow, goat, and sheep’s milk. This cheese soft and supple, creamy and sticky. Notes of fresh milk, grass, egg custard are present on the palate.
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 on March 19, 2019! It is available for pre-order on Amazon.com. Just follow this LINK to order a copy of your book now!
