🦬💙🧀Two Italian Cheese ** Blu Di Buffalo and Vento D'Estate are Back for the Holidays!** 🇮🇹

**Back by popular demand!** After making an appearance during last year’s holiday season, our **Ble Di Buffalo** and **Vento D'Estate** are back just in time for Thanksgiving! 🍂🦃

1. Blu Di Buffalo Made from rich, high-fat **water buffalo milk**, this luxurious blue cheese has an exceptionally creamy texture and a beautifully balanced flavour that sets it apart from traditional cow’s milk blues.

✨ **Flavour:** The natural sweetness and richness of buffalo milk gently balance the **savoury, spicy character of blue mould**, creating a blue cheese that is bold yet surprisingly smooth and approachable.

🍷 **W**e Pairings:** Try it with a **sweet Passito, Port, Sauternes, or Moscato**. The touch of sweetness beautifully balances the salty, savoury blue notes.

2. 🌾🧀 **Veneto D’Estate — A Taste of the Italian Countryside** 🇮🇹

From the **Veneto region of northern Italy**, aged for a minimum of **5 months in oak barrels (barriques)**

✨ **Flavour:** Complex and wonderfully rustic, with pronounced notes of **freshly mown hay, woodland, and herbs**, balanced by a gentle milky tang and a subtle sweet finish.

✨ **Texture:** Dense and firmly compact, yet delicately crumbly — perfect for breaking into rustic pieces and enjoying on a cheese board.

🌿 **Rind:** Its rustic waxed rind is **not edible** and is embedded with visible strands of organic hay, reflecting the unique aging process.

🍷 **Perfect Pairing:** Try it with a **fruit-forward or medium-bodied red w**e**, especially a classic **Valpolicella Classico**.

🥖 **Serving Idea:** Wonderful with rustic bread, seasonal fruit, honey, or alongside cured meats for a truly Italian-inspired cheese board.

Come get yours before the holiday table is set! 🧀✨

🇪🇸🧀 Weekly Special — 18-Month Raw Milk Manchego at Alex Farm on Bayview

This week, discover the rich, concentrated flavours of our 18-Month Raw Milk Manchego — a beautifully matured Spanish classic with incredible depth and character.

🐑 Raw Sheep’s Milk: Crafted exclusively from the unpasteurized milk of Manchega sheep in Spain’s historic La Mancha region.

⏳ Aged 18 Months: Extended aging develops a wonderfully intense and complex character, while giving the cheese its firm, flaky texture and beautiful golden colour.

✨ Flavour: Bold and savoury with delicious notes of browned butter, roasted nuts, and caramel, followed by a pleasant lingering sharpness and subtle herbal undertones.

✨ Texture: Firm, flaky, and slightly granular, with occasional crunchy protein crystals — a delicious sign of its long maturation.

🍯 Perfect Pairings: Enjoy with traditional membrillo (quince paste), honey, Marcona almonds, rustic breadsticks, or cured Spanish meats.

🍷 W**e Pairing: Its bold, nutty character pairs beautifully with a full-bodied Spanish red such as Rioja Reserva or Ribera del Duero.

Nutty, buttery, complex, and beautifully aged — 18 months of Spanish cheesemaking tradition in every bite. 🇪🇸🧀

🧀🇨🇭 **Saturday Cheese Tasting Oct. 03— Appenzeller Classic vs. Extra Old!**

Join us **this Saturday at Alex Farm** and discover how aging transforms one of Switzerland’s most distinctive cheeses! We’ll be tasting **Appenzeller Classic** alongside the bolder, longer-aged **Appenzeller Extra**.

Both are traditional Swiss cow’s milk cheeses from the Appenzell region, famous for being washed with a **closely guarded secret herbal brine** — a tradition that gives Appenzeller its unmistakable spicy, aromatic character.

🥈 **Appenzeller Classic — Silver Label**
Aged for **3–4 months**, Classic is the younger and gentler of the two.

✨ **Flavour:** Creamy, nutty, and fruity with a mild but distinctive herbal spiciness.
✨ **Texture:** Smooth and supple with a straw-coloured paste and tiny irregular holes.
🍷 **Pairing:** Try it with a crisp white w**e such as **Chasselas or Riesling**, a light Pinot Noir, or apple c***r.

⬛ **Appenzeller Extra — Black Label**
Aged for **at least 6 months**, Extra develops a deeper, more powerful personality.

✨ **Flavour:** Bold, tangy, and extra spicy, with complex notes of **toasted nuts, herbs, clover, and dark fruit**.
✨ **Texture:** Firm and smooth, becoming richer and more concentrated with age.
🍷 **Pairing:** Beautiful with **Riesling, Pinot Noir, or a dry to off-dry apple c***r**.

🧀 **Taste Them Side by Side:**
Which Appenzeller will be your favourite — the **creamy, approachable Classic** or the **bold and intensely flavoured Extra**?

🧀 **L’Etivaz AOP — A Taste of the Swiss Alps** 🇨🇭

Rare, traditional, and made entirely by hand, **L’Etivaz AOP** is a hard Swiss alpine cheese produced exclusively from **raw cow’s milk** collected from cows grazing on wildflower-rich mountain pastures in the Vaud Alps from May to October.

🔥 **Traditionally Made**
The milk is heated in large copper cauldrons over open wood fires right in the alpine chalets, giving the cheese a delicate smoky character.

🌿 **Flavor & Texture**
Rich, fruity, and slightly nutty, with a savory umami depth and a beautifully complex aroma.

⏳ **Aged to Perfection**
L’Etivaz is aged for at least 5 months, with many wheels aged **14 to 24 months or longer**, developing deeper and more complex flavors over time.

🏔️ **A Protected Swiss Tradition**
L’Etivaz was the **first Swiss cheese to receive AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée) status in 2000**, recognizing its unique connection to its traditional alpine production region.

✨ **How to Enjoy**
• Add it to a cheese board with fresh apples, grapes, or pears 🍎🍇
• Pair with cured meats and a light, fruity white w**e 🍷
• Melt it into a traditional Swiss fondue
• Enjoy it melted over a rustic sandwich 🥪

A true taste of the Swiss mountains — **traditional, handcrafted, and full of alpine chara
