Our raw sheep’s milk gouda is a great addition to any cheese board. Aged for four to twelve months, this cheese is both creamy and sweet with a subtle hint of flowers. It is a great cheese to enjoy with crackers, fruit and your favorite beverage. Gouda-burger anyone?

Halloumi

Halloumi is a sheep’s milk cheese originally from Cyprus that you can cook on the grill or fry in a skittle. A cousin to feta cheese, halloumi can be grilled until it is golden brown and served on a salad.

My favorite halloumi recipe is to simply cube the cheese in 1/2″ cubes and grill or cook in olive oil until just golden. Then mix with chopped watermelon and fresh mint. Enjoy!

St. Mark’s

St Marks is a bloomy white rind cheese that is very soft with a sharp flavor. It pairs nicely with fruit, bread or your favorite beverage. Similar to our camelbah in looks , St Marks is almost runny if left out to room temperature and has a piquant taste that balances nicely with fruit or wine.

Our blue cheese is a blue cheese made with our sheep milk. We’ve aged this cheese for a half year bringing out its piquant flavor and creating a creamy texture. It’s gentle yellow color gives way to blue veins that create its notable flavor.

Rose’s Ridge

Rose’s Ridge is a semi-hard cheese made from our raw sheep milk. It is our own invention. Similar in tanginess to a white cheddar, it has an additional sweetness. The cheese has citrus overtones and a hint of tree fruit. It can be eaten alone, with crackers, and melts well so can can be used in many recipes. It is coated with wax rind colored “rose” with beet juice.

We name this cheese after Rose (pronounced “Rosa”) who is a border collie who lives in Texas. Her owner, Ken, helped me create this cheese so we honor his favorite dog by naming the cheese after her.

Sheep Milk Ricotta Firma

Like our fresh ricotta cheese, our ricotta firma is freshly made from our sheep’s milk. We press our ricotta firma for a short time to remove moisture and giving it a firmer texture than our classic ricotta. Another great cooking cheese, it will maintain its form in stews and other recipes or can be eaten as a slice on a sandwich. Enjoy ricotta!

Sheep Milk Feta

admin — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 03:00:50 +0000

Our feta is made from 100% sheep milk. As it ages, it develops a wonderful taste. Each slice is packaged in the light brine solution used to age the cheese. You can either slice the cheese for a sandwich or crumble it on a salad or soup.

Camelbah

admin — Thu, 22 Aug 2019 20:43:01 +0000

Camelbah is a mild and sweet camembert-style cheese. It has a bloomy white rind and creamy interior that softens as it ripens. Made in the style of a camembert but with sheep’s milk, it has a gentle flavor that grows as it ages in your fridge for up to a month or even two! Try something fancy and bake it inside a loaf of fresh bread. Enjoy Camelbah by itself, with fresh fruit or your favorite wine.

MarkJego

admin — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:03:30 +0000

A manchego-style cheese made with our raw or pasteurized sheep’s milk and aged with a natural rind rubbed with olive oil. The snappy flavor of the rind complements the creamy and smooth cheese. It pairs nicely with a glass of wine. It also melts well and can be used in a variety of ways while cooking.

We name this cheese MarkJego after my border collie Mark John who helps move the sheep down from the pastures and into the milking parlor.
