Saxelby Cheesemongers

In the southern United States, pimento cheese is king! This highly addictive spreadable cheese is made from a blend of cheddar cheese, pimento peppers, mayonnaise, grated Tellicherry pepper, and just enough cayenne to give it a kick! We source ours from @zingermanscreamery in Ann Arbor, MI, which is NOT the south, but is a bastion of celebrating great American food traditions! Makes a delicious summertime appetizer served with crackers, bread, and/or crudite. #cheese #saxelbycheese #pimentocheese

This selection from the von Trapp Farmstead showcases the best of many different styles - clockwise from the top left we have Oma - their original washed rind cheese ripened by the Cellars at Jasper Hill Farm, Mt. Alice - buttery bloomy rind, and Mad River Blue - an earthy, mushroomy, rustic blue. In addition to making great cheese, the von Trapps practice regenerative agriculture, which goes beyond organic to build biodiversity on their farm from the soil up, and focuses on building topsoil to capture carbon, eliminate erosion, and improve the groundwater supply. If the saying ‘you are what you eat’ is true, then you’ve gotta be better off after eating this cheese!! #saxelbycheese #cheese #regenerativeagriculture #youarewhatyoueat

Spread-mmms Olive Tapenade is the perfect savory accompaniment to spice up your cheese board! We love it paired with fresh, milky cheeses like Kunik - a triple cream goat/cow blend from Nettle Meadow Farm. The bold savory flavors of Beldi olives, roasted garlic, and rosemary are a perfect foil to the lush, buttery decadence of Kunik. Spread-mmms is also a New York City based woman-owned business! Owner Rebecca Montero is a fiercely talented chef AND an ardent supporter of the American artisan cheese movement! #cheese #saxelbycheese #tapenade
