Featured Texas Artisanal Cheeses
listed in order of firmness, firm to soft
Paragon
The Veldhuizen Family Farm, Dublin, TX
Raw Cow's Milk
A stunning raw milk original from recently discovered Texas cheesemaker Stuart Veldhuizen, this semi-soft cheese has a creamy texture that coates the tongue like custard. Its rich, yellow color speaks to the cow's happy grass filled diet. Although mild in flavor, Paragon offers complexity that unfolds from start to finish.
Deep Ellum Blue
The Mozzarella Company, Dallas, TX
Pasteurized Cow's Milk
Deep Ellum Blue is a unique creation of Texas' cheese pioneer, Paula Lambert. Named for the neighborhood where her Mozzarella Company is located, which had a thriving blues scene in the 20s and 30s, this creamy, pasteurized cow's milk cheese has blue mold only on the exterior, not veined throughout like most blue cheeses. Washed with extra virgin oil near the end of its 3 month ripening, the resulting robust, earthy flavor of the exterior complements the slightly tart, mild interior.
Sainte Maure
Pure Luck Dairy, Dripping Springs, TX
Ripened Goat's Milk
Named and styled after the traditional French cheese, Pure Luck's Sainte Maure is a creamy cylinder of goat cheese coated with vegetable ash and ripened with a white mold exterior. The rind on this cheese offers a pungent kick to the mild, smooth cheese, making it pleasing to both blue cheese and non-blue cheese lovers.
Del Cielo
Pure Luck Dairy, Dripping Springs, TX
Ripened Goat's Milk
Cheesemaker Amelia Sweethardt makes this camembert-style cheese from the milk of her grass-fed goat herd. With a delicate white mold and a creamy center, this cheese is truly a "heavenly orb".
La Cuesta Plain Chevre
La Cuesta Farms, Clifton, TX
Fresh Goat's Milk
La Cuesta's plain chevre is creamy and smooth in texture with the bright, clean flavor of fresh goat's milk, without the hint of goatiness. The crisp flavor and lovely texture of this cheese is like a sip of champagne.
