Pinot Noir is quite possibly the oldest grape variety to be cultivated for the purpose of making wine. Some of the countries most skilled winemakers are producing some of the most exciting and cheese-friendly wines we’ve tasted. We love its light fruitiness and its delicate, velvety texture, and so do these cheeses.

Blythedale Camembert: For over 100 years, the barn at Blythedale Farm has been a focal point of the village of Cookeville, Vermont. A much newer barn houses the 30 or so Jersey cows in Karen Galayda's herd. These cows supply all of the milk for Blythedale Farm's Vermont Camembert is much different than today's stabilized French Camembert in that it ages gracefully. When fresh, it is mild and creamy, pale yellow in color with a bloomy white mold rind. When aged it develops lots more character, turning yellow-orange and losing most of its fluffy white coating. The texture turns from creamy to almost crumbly and the flavor explodes with a complex earthiness.

Cocoa Cardona: Nestled amongst the rolling hills and lush pastures of central Wisconsin, Carr Valley cheese remains one of Wisconsin’s traditional cheese plants, famous for its cheddar varieties made the old-fashioned way. Owned and operated by the Cook family, Carr Valley will celebrate its 100th anniversary this year. Made from 100% Goat milk, this cheese is aged and rubbed with cocoa. Cocoa Cardona won 1st Best of Class in the US cheese Contest in 2003.

Le Marechal is a raw cow's milk cheese produced in small batches in the town of Corcelles-aux-Payernes. Aged for 5 months, at the beginning of the third month the cheese is rubbed with Herbes de Provence (a blend of thyme, oregano and other country herbs) giving it a beautiful appearance and a wickedly spicy flavor. We were surprised by how strongly the herb flavor penetrates the rind, imparting their rustic flavor on the cheese. Reminiscent of Gruyere and Tete de Moine, Le Marechal is a new cheese that belongs among the classics.
