This year, we’ve started bringing in small-batch, artisan cheeses a couple of times a month. We’re calling it our Special Delivery program: we bring in a limited amount of these amazing cheeses and sell them at a crazy-good price. When they’re gone, they’re gone, but not to worry, there’ll be something else on the way. Be sure to stop by our cheese counters to find out what Special Delivery we’ve received lately.
This week we have the beautiful Capriole O’Banon. Capriole is located in the lush, rolling hills of India, just over the Ohio River from Louisville, KY. Founded in 1988, Capriole Farms is one of the oldest and most award winning goat dairies in the United States, having won numerous prizes for their cheeses at the American Cheese Society judging.
This week’s Special Delivery cheese is Capriole’s O’Banon, a delicate and moist goats’ milk round wrapped in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves. Yup, we said bourbon. It is rich, creamy, and silky with lovely flavors and aromas of bourbon, vanilla, citrus, and fresh herbs. Unwrapped, it is a beautiful addition to any cheese plate. The perfect addition to a holiday spread!
