May showers bring spring flowers!

I'm not sure if that is the saying but we certainly had a nice rain, and I am sure there are lots of us watching for lush green grass as well as the lovely spring flowers.  A huge blessing for sure. 

We have two wheels of cheese packaged and in our online store.  Pictured is our cloth bound Cowboy Cheddar, aged 90 days.  It is a nice firm slightly sharp cheese with buttery notes.  The second wheel is Cactus Jack aged 100 days, and we are just trying our hand at a smoky Cactus Jack.  Give it a try and let us know what you think. These are two favorites for us but if you ever get a cheese that  you feel might be too sharp, try making grated cheese into a cheese fritter.  Very delicious and can sweeten even the sharpest of cheeses.  Just grate and drop in little handfuls on a griddle, let melt and get crisp. It is wonderful on a rye crisp or cracker.

The hand made cutting board says it all. "Good food is Love made edible."    We hope you will give the aged cheeses a try. Did you know dental studies have shown that a number of cheeses including both Jack and Cheddar will actually help prevent cavities.  Eating cheese after a meal or sugary snack can help protect against tooth decay and restore some of the minerals in our tooth enamel.  Good Ol' Gouda and Country Colby will be ready to package soon.
