Calderwood and St. Malachi Reserve are back in the case. We’ve missed both for a long time. They come by way of Saxelby Cheesemongers in New York, where Anne Saxelby’s passion for American cheese lives on.

Calderwood began as a Saxelby project for chef Dan Barber, built around one question: how much of what a cow eats ends up in the cheese. Jasper Hill Farm takes wheels of their Alpha Tolman, coats them in finely chopped hay from the fields around the farm, and ages them for months more. The cheese is named for the machine that dries that hay. You can taste it: toasted nuts, savory broth, a streak of tropical fruit.

St. Malachi Reserve is the long-aged version of St. Malachi from The Farm at Doe Run in Coatesville, PA. It’s made from their own herd’s milk and matured in stone caves on the farm. Our wheel was made in May 2025. At last year’s American Cheese Society competition it took second in its category. The cheese that beat it went on to win Best of Show. No shame in that. There isn’t much of it to go around.

Both are on the counter now.

Gutturnio takes its name from the gutturnium, a silver goblet Romans filled to the brim at feasts. Julius Caesar’s father-in-law owned an estate out there in the Piacenza hills, which is probably the least interesting thing about that family.

This is Gutturnio Superiore from — two women farming old family land in the Colli Piacentini, a corner of Emilia-Romagna nobody thinks about. Barbera and Croatina. It drinks like the house red you wish your house had.

Pouring it Thursday with four more from Nick Mucci , including Cantina della Volta’s “Oops mi è scappata la bollicina” — a Pinot Nero that was supposed to be still, started fermenting again in the bottle, and got left that way. The name translates to roughly “oops, the bubble got away from me.”

Don’t let the tasting get away from you. Vino Vini Mucci. Thursday 9/24, 4:30 to 6:30, free.

Bob is feeling a little cosmic about this week’s apples. Cosmic Crisp is out of Washington, a Honeycrisp cross bred for crunch, and it delivers. Rambour Franc is the one to ask about: a French apple on record since 1535, when Henry VIII was still married to Anne Boleyn, grown for us by Champlain Orchards in Vermont. It also goes by Summer Rambo. First blood, first bite.

All butters are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Ben & Hilary started in Orwell, Vermont, a real town, which makes this joke Diane St. Clair’s fault, not ours. It’s a tiny herd of Jersey cows, and new owners Hilary and Ben trained under Diane before taking over. Hilary churns on Tuesdays: the cream is cultured for a day, then the butter is worked by hand. That color is from their grassy summer pasture, and yes, it’s really that yellow.

Most of it goes to the French Laundry and Per Se. We have twelve 8 oz tubs, sorry, eleven, at the counter. Miss out and we’ll put your name down for the next batch.

Four legs good, two tubs each

We’ve been waiting years for this one.

Introducing Mariana from Blakesville Creamery, a truly delightful natural rind sheep’s milk Tomme with notes of citrus and cream and just the right amount of bite.

Mariana comes to us thanks to head cheesemaker Veronica Pedraza, and the incredible sheep’s milk from its namesake Mariana Marques de Almeida, who runs the Mrs. J & Co sheep dairy in Juda, Wisconsin.

Veronica is an incredibly talented cheesemaker who started at Sweet Grass Dairy, was one of Saxelby Cheesemongers’s first employees, ran the creamery at Jasper Hill Farm, and made wonderful sheep milk cheeses at Meadowood Farms CAZ, before starting Blakesville Creamery in 2020.

American artisanal cheesemaking is a small world filled with many hardworking people, and we couldn’t be more proud to support the work of this incredible dairy.

We don’t know if you heard the news, but a certain someone doesn’t want Canadian dairy anymore. So while this isn’t illegal yet, it tastes so good it might as well be.

This is, in our parlance, Garlic Flower Raclette from Fromagerie La Station out of Quebec, and oui, it’s so good.

Raclette is the classic melt it and put it on potatoes cheese and the only thing that can make that better is garlic, and this one delivers, with actual garlic flowers folded into the paste. So come by and grab some before the Québécois have it all to themselves.
