5 SPOKE

Creamery

HARVEST MOON In response to the 2013 FDA ban on Mimolette, 5 Spoke Creamery sourced the cheese molds from France, and searched for recipes as the jumping off point for their own raw milk, American made mimolette style cheese - Harvest Moon.

A rich round cheese with a moonscape- like outer rind and an inside with the bright orange hue of autumnal leaves, Harvest Moon has a hint of sweetness and butterscitch notes that become more pronounced as it ages.

Bandage Wrapped Cheddar is made in the traditional English Style and remains Fiscalini's most popular and highly awarded cheese. The term “bandage wrapped” refers to the cheesecloth that is used to bind the wheel and protect the cheese while allowing it to breathe during the aging process.

This semi-hard cheese is firm yet crumbly, straw-colored and has a nutty, slightly smoky, earthy and more round finish than most aged cheddars. Bandage Wrapped Cheddar is made from raw cow’s milk, hand crafted into wheels and aged a minimum of 14 months.

Bandage Wrapped Cheddar easily stands on its own and is often used as the main attraction on a charcuterie board.

It’s creamy sweet flavor compliments a wide variety of meats, spreads, nuts and fruits. Its firm texture has the tendency to melt in the mouth. Use this cheese to create a creamy Cheddar Ale soup, garnished with crumbled bacon.

Try Bandage Wrapped Cheddar when making a gourmet macaroni and cheese or in pancetta wrapped stuffed mushrooms.

Rougette Bavarian Red is extremely creamy, mild and buttery and a perfect introduction to brie or washed rind cheeses. The distinctive look of its red exterior is the natural color of paprika extract. Rougette is lactose free, and tastes mild when it is young and increasingly becomes more finely spiced as it matures.

ROQUEFORTPapillon

They say that a young shepherd, in love, was distracted by a shepherdess.

Forgetting his rye bread and sheep’s cheese in the cave of Combalou where he was resting, he left to pursue the girl. A little while later, he returned to this place and discovered his meal covered in a blue-green mold. Famished, he tasted the cheese and was delighted. Roquefort, alchemy between the natural ventilation of a cave, rye bread and the cheese of the Lacaune ewes had been born.

FR-563 Papillon Roquefort AOP Black Label | 4x3lb | $10.49/LB

In 1925, Roquefort became the first recognized Appellation d’Origine cheese.

Additionally, European recognition as Appellation d’Origine Protégée guarantees a high-quality, authentic product to this day.

To be considered AOP Roquefort, the cheese must be aged in designated natural caves for a minimum of 14 days and then in an aging room for 3 months. Papillon surpasses these minimum requirements, developing deeper flavors by initially cave-aging for 21 days and then for 5 more months under the close watch of Papillon’s Master Refiner.

NEW! Parrano Truffle Parrano Truffle follows the original recipe for Parrano which blends the flavors of a nutty, salty Parmesan with the creamy sweetness of a Gouda but enhances the flavor even farther with the addition of shavings of Italian black truffles. After aging the deep earthy flavors and truffle aroma emerge to create an irresistibly complex flavor like no other.

Parrano Originale

Parrano is aged for five months, developing its nutty Parmigiano-Reggiano flavors while maintaining the firm, smooth texture of a young Gouda. This perfect combination brings you the best of both worlds: a cheese that is full of flavor and versatile enough to cut, grate and melt.

MANCHEGO EL TRIGAL DOP RESERVA Manchego is a DOP cheese, which can be made only from the milk of the Manchega sheep that graze in the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, and Toledo, all of which form the region of La Mancha. The best cheese is produced when the milk is the richest, between August and December. The pattern on the rind honors a time when the cheese was wrapped in sheets of woven esparto grass. The Corcuera family was the first in all of Castilla La Mancha to make and commercialize Manchego cheese.

The family produces the cheese in the province of Toledo using same day milk, producing a more buttery Manchego. This complex, full-flavored Manchego is aged more than 1 year and packaged in elegant wooden crates. Truly an outstanding Manchego, far superior to others in the industry.

KANAAL 2018 Silver Sofi | Best Cows’ Milk Cheese ND-600 | 1x22lb | $5.65/LB

Kanaal is crunchy, butterscotch, salty-sweet cheese candy... fresh from Holland and ready to sweeten any occasion. A most tasty treat perfectly made to please cheese fans everywhere-- the older Kanaal gets, the more deliciously dense and fudgy it becomes. As an added bonus, expiration date laws aside, due to its cheesemaking style plus help from the wax-coated protective wrapping, there is a practically unlimited shelf life when well treated.

At a glance or from a blind bite, one may guess Kanaal is any number of cheese types. In a way this is true as it is a lesser known style called Proosdij (‘Proooze-Dee’) created to capture the best of many cheese worlds.

Proosdij is a semi-firm to firm style of washed-curd cheese made very similarly to Goudas using specific combinations of mixed-strain starter cultures. As a result, Kanaal develops aroma, flavor, and texture profiles with characteristics a cross between Gouda and Parmesan cheeses. This also includes the satisfying crunchiness of increasing amounts of tyrosine crystals that form with age along with more sweet, fruity, toasted caramel, and bouillon flavors than Gouda cheeses. Proosdijs also have lower butterfat content by dry matter than the required 48% for official Gouda status. With Kanaal coming very close at 45% it has the benefits to satisfy while also warranting those extra bites. Read on for our beer-fueled pairing guide demonstrating three unique ways to savor Kanaal’s exceptional flavors so good they’ve earned a coveted place in the Specialty Food Association’s 2018 Sofi Awards winners’ circle.

Old Amsterdam was officially introduced to the Netherlands in 1985 and became a resounding success.

Today it is still made using the original, well-guarded family recipe to create a mature cheese with distinctive, rich flavors. Old Amsterdam is one big chunk of character born from a pure passion for cheese.

CASTELLO Danish Blue

Since 1893 Castello has brought a balance of innovation and tradition to the art of cheesemaking. Castello cheeses cover a wide range of traditional regional recipes as well as their own uniquely crafted originals, always made with natural ingredients and great attention to detail.

Creamy Blue

Saga Blue

Sticky and luscious on your knife, this cows’ milk blue cheese is tender and mild at first before, ever so gently, releasing a delicate beery bitterness just as you swallow leaving the creamiest of coatings behind. Just try stopping at one bite.

First made in Denmark in 1969, Castello Creamy Blue is uniquely pierced to leave a star-like pattern in blue.

Saga Blue is a fresh, mild cows’ milk blue cheese with flavors and aromas filled with hints of butter and mushrooms plus a pleasant, slight bitterness from the blue mold. Castello Saga Blue matches well with a light red wine, toasted rye bread, and crisp slightly sour green vegetables or salad. Citrus fruits, grapes, and walnuts also pair beautifully.
