A‎ soft washed rind cheese that is made in the style of the highly prized & only rarely available Mont D’Or. Le Bois Blond has a white, slightly fluffy exterior, w/ ridges of very pale orange coloured rind peeking through the edges of the cheese. The aroma from this cheese is unique & inviting; a combination of notes of raw cauliflower & a pleasant mustiness that one often associates w/ soft ripened rinds.

A blue cheese (Verde Capra translates as Blue Goat) made w/ goat’s milk by Arnoldi Val Taleggio. Arnoldi is an Italian cheesemaker from the Taleggio Valley in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy. A dense moist cheese w/ a bright white paste that contrasts the vertical lines of blue green mould. The flavour is creamy, mild & well balanced w/ a slight tang, a touch of salt, & a hint of sweetness.
