Fleur de la Vallee: This is a washed rind cheese similar to Reblochon. It is semi-soft aromatic, and has a full rich cream flavor.
Sainte Genevieve: This cheese is inspired by the French cheese Chaource which has been made in France since the 14th century. Our customers tell us it is like butter but better. It is a mold ripened cheese and has a beautiful fragile yellow rind, firm smooth paste with a delicious liquid just under the rind that reminds one of fresh buttermilk.
Bloomsdale: Inspired by Valencay. Originally this cheese was shaped like a perfect pyramid. However, upon Napoleon's return from his disastrous campaign in Egypt, he stopped at the castle of Valencay and seeing the cheese that so reminded him of the Egyptian pyramids, in a rage he drew his sword and chopped off the top. The cheese has been made with a flattened top ever since. We chose the name "Bloomsdale" because its shape reminds us of the hills surrounding us where our farm resides. It is a mold ripened cheese and is rolled in a mixture of ash and salt. As this cheese ages it becomes progressively softer to the point of runniness. The cheese at that point takes on some blue cheese flavor compounds. Some of our customers prefer it that way and use it as a savory sauce for grilled steak.
Cherbourg: a washed rind cheese with a creamy and delicate balance of flavor notes of toasted wheat bread with real butter, sour cream, and salted green pistachios fresh out of the shell. Very silky and sticky paste. An addicting cheese.
All of our above cheeses except the Coeur de la Creme as designated above sell for $25.00 per pound and include tax.

Please keep them refrigerated and wrapped when not serving them. If you would like to purchase some of our cheeses you may do so by sending us an email sales@baetjefarms.com or by phone 573-483-9021.

Standard shipping rates apply and there is a packaging fee because of the insulated cooler and ice packs that will protect your cheese in transit. Please contact us for detail. Since we are a seasonal dairy, we generally do not have cheese available the months of January and February.
