Cheese
Fromager D'Affinois
Fromager D'Affinois is a generous, melt-in-the-mouth cheese. Its rich and creamy soft texture releases a fresh and fine taste with a delicate flavor.
Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam
An organic American Original cheese recipe, our best-selling cheese has all the lusciousness you expect from a triple cream with a unique heart that upholds its texture. Named after the iconic landmark Mount Tamalpais that rises over the San Francisco Bay in Marin County, Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt Tam cheese is produced with organic, locally sourced milk and rises above the standard for bloomy rind cheeses. Mt Tam takes you from fudgey firmness to buttery softness with flavors spanning from bright creme fraiche to complex and mushroomy, evoking North Bay’s lush green and gold pastures.
Jasper Hill Harbison
Harbison is a soft-ripened cheese with a rustic, bloomy rind. Young cheeses are wrapped in strips of spruce cambium, the tree’s inner bark layer, harvested from the woodlands of Jasper Hill. The spoonable texture begins to develop in our vaults, though the paste continues to soften on the way to market. Harbison is woodsy and sweet, balanced with lemon, mustard, and vegetal flavors.
Central Coast Creamery Goat Gouda
Central Coast Creamery Goat Gouda is made from 100% whole goat milk and goat cream and aged on pine wood in our ripening room for at least 5 months. This semi-soft cheese is ivory colored with a smooth mouthfeel and the slightly grainy texture of an aged cheese. Goat Gouda has a caramel scent and a slightly nutty and sweet flavor.
Alta Langa Il Nocciolo
This cheese is made from a blend of milk, cow, goat, and sheep's milk. The finished cheese is simple and straightforward with a clean, tangy flavor and a luscious creamy texture.
Beehive Cheese Company Barely Buzzed
The espresso and lavender rub imparts notes of butterscotch and caramel, which are prevalent near the rind, but find their way to the center of the cheese. This is a full-bodied cheese with a nutty flavor and smooth texture.
Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. Tomatruffle
TomaTruffle is the perfect combination of classic Toma paired with the aromatic flavors of Italian Black Truffles from Umbria. Reminiscent of undergrowth, fresh strawberries, dried fruit and a hint of cocoa, the earthy flavor marries beautifully with the buttery richness of Toma.
Ponce de Leon 6 month old Manchego
This Ponce de Leon 6 months old Manchego has a sweet, candied undertone that contributes to its popularity
Beillevaire Aged 24 Months Comte
The Comte is a pressed and cooked cheese with a brown natural rind. The paste is yellow sprinkled with white hues - the milk protein crystallized by the maturation. The texture is buttery and the flavors are rich and intense. You will get some roasted coffee aroma or a touch of dry fruits.
Sarvecchio Parmesan
Fruity, with hints of lightly-roasted caramel and aged to crumbly perfection.
Beecher's Flagship Cheese
Flagship is a semi-hard cow’s milk cheese with a uniquely robust, nutty flavor. It is carefully aged for 15 months to fully develop its complex flavor and ever-so-slight crumble.
Di Bruno Pinot Grigio and Fig Cheese Spread
A unique mix of subtly aromatic Pinot Grigio wine, with its delicate fruity notes, and fig's nutty, sweet presence. Blended with real Wisconsin cheese, this newest edition to our popular cheese spread lineup is quickly becoming a popular favorite.
Jams and Spreads

Charcuterie
Olli Genoa salami Simply seasoned with just salt and white pepper, allowing the flavor of premium pork to shine through.
Olli Toscana salami Made with fennel pollen, conveying an aromatic licorice-like intensity that has long made it the pork enhancer of choice.
Brooklyn Cured Bresaola is best described as beef prosciutto. Dry-cured beef top round is elegant and lean, but when seasoned with porcini mushrooms and black pepper, its flavor gets funky and deep. It’s all about the umami with this one.
Angel’s Black truffle salami This unique salami is made using 100% Berkshire Pork meat and 5% Black Truffles that we source from Perigord, France. It is dry-cured, fermented, and then aged for three months in a dry room. We prepare our Black Truffle Salami with French Brandy and spices for an unforgettable taste.
