Nettle Meadow Farm, Sappy Ewe: (Included in all three boxes)
Hailing from New York’s Nettle Meadow Farm is the award-winning, cute button known as the Sappy Ewe. The Sappy Ewe is a beautiful semi-soft cheese made with pasteurized sheep and cow's milk. The iconic bloomy rind is made of black pine ash and white mold, giving the cheese a mushroomy and earthy profile, with slight maple notes throughout. As a crumbly soft cheese, try pairing it with a jam or a honey.

Roelli Cheese Haus, Little Mountain: (Included in all three boxes)
An award-winning cheese by Roelli Cheese Haus, the Little Mountain is a Wisconsin Alpine made in the Appenzeller style. This Swiss-style cheese has hints of fruitiness with a base of the traditional nutty and grassy notes. Aged for at least 6 months using raw cow’s milk, with a semi-firm texture and smooth taste. We recommend pairing honey and roasted almonds to round out the palette.

Cowgirl Creamery, Pierce Point: (Included in the Cheese Only Box)
A cow’s milk cheese that embodies Spring and the warm nostalgia of California, Pierce Point by Cowgirl Creamery is a seasonal cheese back on Larder shelves. Pierce Point features a bloomy rind with aromatic local herbs and flowers, like chamomile, calendula, and Thai basil. The vibrant colors of the rind of this soft, buttery cheese make it a must for any Summer board. Pair this flavorful cheese with fresh fruit or a subtle olive oil and fleur de sel cracker.   

Olympia Provisions, Loukanika: (Included in the Cheese & Meat Box)
Good Food award-winning salami chub by Olympia Provisions is the Greek-style Loukanika. “Loukanika” is the Greek word for Sausage, and this salami incorporates these flavors with a family recipe consisting of cumin, garlic, and orange zest. Based in Portland, Oregon, Olympia Provisions goes for an old-world approach to salumi to bring traditional European flavors to America.
