The Cheese Lover (New!)
Shares consist of:
- ONE piece of fresh cheese. These are soft, spreadable cheeses. You will receive either Chevre (salted goat cheese), Fromage Blanc (unsalted goat cheese), or a Brebis (Sheep Milk). We will rotate plain and flavors.
- ONE piece of slicing cheese. These are all from West River Creamery’s raw cow and goat milk cheese. These include cheddar (plain, chipotle, and smoked), jack (plain and spiced), and swiss (possibly also baby swiss), and a Cheshire.
- ONE piece of rind cheese – for slicing or grating. We will rotate semi-soft mold ripened (brie-like) cheeses and harder grating cheeses.
The Bread Lover
- There are no preservatives in the bread.
- One will be a Sandwich loaf: Sourdough, Farm Bread, Whole Wheat Farm Bread, 8 Grain 3 Seed, or Pane Bello. We may incorporate rolls into this once or twice.
- One will be a Surprise loaf: Marble Rye, Pane Paesano, Onion Rye, Cinnamon Raisin, Jewish Rye, Sesame Semolina, Pumpernickel, Pepper Parmesan, Sundried Tomato, or a bag of Biscotti.
- About the source:
Rock Hill Breads are European hearth-fired with ingredients that are simple and good. They use organic flours from Champlain Mills, slow rising wild yeasts, and a great French Oven that creates crispy, chewy crusts – the kind of bread you can build your meals around and never tire of eating.
