For the most part, goats and sheep do not give milk year round.

Their milk dries up in the late fall, they have kids in the early spring and finally they they eat the sweet spring grasses.

At that time, the cheese makers get to work and a few months later we get to enjoy the rich, sweet cheeses from spring and summer milk!

Our July box is the goat and sheep collection, taking full advantage of the season’s milk.

Some think that the heat turns our minds away from cheese, but nothing could be further from my mind.

To me, a picnic with crusty baguette and cheese is a part of the very essence of summer.&nbs p; And these light seasonal cheese are just the ticket to pair with summer faire.

Pan fry the Halomi and serve it right away with a cold salad.

Serve up the Mahon, Alma

and

petit poitou

with the seasons ripest fruits at the end of a meal.

Entertain friends on the porch with a chilled gewurtztraminer and cherries and the delicate balance of Bleugris.

Be sure to take a look at our add-on cheeses featuring our usual selection of top notch pantry basics and a zippy little number from Italy, Tuma dla Paja.

Tuma is from Lombardy and is a soft ripened, bloomy rind cheese.

10 years ago it won the best cheese award at the Fancy Food show in New York (which in the food world, means practically the universe).

It is a dynamite cheese, beautifully presented and perfect to give as a summer host gift.
