Looking Back at the Year in Cheese
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and has a happy and healthy new year! As we begin this calendar year, I always find it fun and fulfilling to look back at a few statistics from 2020. Our fan-favorite cheese of the year was our Nottingham Gouda. Aged 10-12 months, this golden-yellow cheese is creamy and sweet with notes of toasted hazelnuts and butter. A nice crunch of crystallization can be found all throughout this well-aged cheese. Try pairing with your favorite red wine!
Drumroll please…..in 2020 we made right around 22,000 lbs of cheese from over
250,000 lbs of milk! That’s over 29,000 gallons of milk turned into 9 different types of cheese right here in Loudoun County! Not to mention, the majority of the 25,000 lbs of cheese made in 2019 was being stored and aged to sharp, tasty perfection over the course of this past year too. We are excited to see what 2021 has in store, we certainly have our work cut out for us to keep up with you alls cravings for our artisan cheeses! Thank you for all the support shown throughout the last year, helping us to continue doing what we love, bringing artisan farmstead cheeses from our farm to your table!
