Ripple celebration

I’m probably going to get money to start a lab at work!  So we went to Ripple in Cleveland Park for a snack:  cheeses with honey, apricot jam, and pecans with bacon.

Kinderhook Creek – sheep’s milk cheese from Old Chatham Sheepherding Company, a soft, spreadable cheese.

Pleasant Ridge Reserve – cow’s milk from Uplands Cheese in Dodgeville, WI.  Made in the Alpine tradition similar to Gruyere and Beaufort.

Mitibleu – a rare Spanish roquefort-style sheep’s blue, from Mitica in the La Mancha region of Spain.  Apparently difficult to find here.  Very good, creamy.
