  • Lemon Blue – THIS Is The Blue Cheese You’ve Been Looking For

    Comments Off on Lemon Blue – THIS Is The Blue Cheese You’ve Been Looking For

    So there are a lot of recipes that pop up when you Google “lemon blue cheese.” Unfortunately, all of these recipes have them coming together in a dish.

    The blue cheese that we carry is a true marriage of these two ingredients. The lemons themselves are fermented and pressed into the cheese to allow the lemon flavor to soak into its already porous texture. But, if we’re being honest, the “blue” elements of the cheese are what you want with a blue.

  • Holidays at the Jungle – Creamy and Flavorful Truffle Tremor

    Comments Off on Holidays at the Jungle – Creamy and Flavorful Truffle Tremor
    ​This soft ripened goat cheese is every truffle lover’s dream. Made by one of my favorite creameries currently producing, Cypress Grove, this California cheese is the perfect balance of Italian black truffle and creamy goat cheese. 

    The smooth texture combines perfectly with the earthiness of the truffles. We think this can be served as a great dessert cheese, along with something sweet. It has a light feel on the palate, but still offers strong flavor all around.

  • Holidays at the Jungle – Why You Need Raclette This Holiday Season

    Comments Off on Holidays at the Jungle – Why You Need Raclette This Holiday Season

    ​Ever walk into a holiday party and wonder what that smell is? Hopefully, what you’re smelling is someone melting Raclette and getting ready to serve it alongside boiled potatoes or steamed veggies.

    Raclette both refers to the cheese itself or the dish, and comes from the French word, racler, meaning “to scrape.” You can melt Raclette cheese on a traditional Raclette melting pan and it’s sure to be a hit at your party (or parties) this year.

  • Fresh Mozzarella, Burrata, Ricotta – Handmade at Jungle Jim’s

    Comments Off on Fresh Mozzarella, Burrata, Ricotta – Handmade at Jungle Jim’s
    Fresh, Handmade Mozzarella ​Making fresh mozzarella is a vital process. It’s quick, based as much on learned and practiced skill as it is tried and true methodology. We like to think of it as a labor of love. A member of the pasta filata family of cheeses (which includes provolone, as well), mozzarella is a hand-stretched, hand-rolled cheese best eaten fresh.

    Subtle in flavor, soft in texture, with a little saltiness and a lot of personality.

  • Mackenzie Creamery Pumpkin Chevre – More Pumpkin? You Betcha!

    Comments Off on Mackenzie Creamery Pumpkin Chevre – More Pumpkin? You Betcha!
    ​Can we stand one more Pumpkin flavored anything? The answer, thankfully, is yes! With Mackenzie Creamery Pumpkin Chevre, the onslaught of pumpkin flavoring throughout the fall season is just a bit more bearable.

    Mackenzie Creamery is located just a bit north in Hiram, Ohio and makes what I consider to be the best tasting, all-around best quality domestic fresh goat cheese. Texturally, it feels extra whipped, which allows it to spread better and just have a better,

  • Caramore – Chocolate, Caramel… Cheese?

    Comments Off on Caramore – Chocolate, Caramel… Cheese?
    ​This incredible cheese is the brother of the weirdly popular Gjetost (Norwegian brown cheese). Gjetost is already the the nearest thing to “cheese fudge,” but Caramore takes it a step further and brings in a nice punch of chocolate flavor to the mix. It’s only been available in the market since 2016 and has pleasantly surprised everyone how has tried it. 

    The weird part? There is no chocolate or caramel added to this.

    A genuinely beech smoked Bavarian cheese, Bruder Basil is one of the more balanced smoked cheeses that we carry in the shop. First produced by Trappist monks in the Abbey of Rotthalmunster, Basil Weixler came to learn how to make it with the aid of the monks and began making larger batches in 1902. 

    Texture wise, Bruder Basil is semi-soft, with a nice amount of buttery and smoky notes to please most any palate.

  • Brooklyn Cured, Old World Crafted – Bresaola at The Cheese Shop

    Comments Off on Brooklyn Cured, Old World Crafted – Bresaola at The Cheese Shop
    ​An excellent cut of dry cured beef top-round, this Bresaola is coated in porcini mushroom and black pepper to add an even deeper level of flavor that you don’t usually get with Bresaola. 

    Starting in 2010, Chef Scott Bridi wanted to create products that represented the diversity of the Brooklyn neighborhood he was from and create meat products that everyone from every type of background could enjoy. Bridi runs the company with only a handful of employees,
