7 Awesome Cheese Deals and Artisan American Cheeses to Buy, Now
Sweet Grass Dairy’s Thomasville Tomme
As long as the milk is flowing…. the cheese keeps rolling.
As we all know, there are some products you can't just stop making because there are less shelves to stock them on. Like, cheese, because of milk being so perishable.
So what is a cheese lover to do? Eat up.
There is 1 simple thing you can do to support cheesemakers now. If you’re able, buy their 🧀. Eat it (score!). And send it to friends (a virtual cheese hug). That’s it!
The last time I wrote about how to support cheesemakers while sheltered-in-place I shared some of my favorite California producers that had just started to offer online shipping. Now, I'm going national (but of course I couldn't help sticking in a Cali producer or two). If you have an awesome cheese shop near you, shop there! But if you don’t, or prefer delivery… here are 7 of the sweetest artisan cheese deals and online shops I found to date, most of them with some pretty awesome combo packs.
Visit & buy from the online shops below to support American 🧀 makers. Sending hugs to all of you at home.
Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt Tam with Friends in Cheese Spicy Tomato Jelly
7 Stellar American Cheesemakers who are Selling Online Now
RedHeaded Creamery- From creamy brie to Cotton Candy Clothbound cheddar, RedHeaded creamery in Minnesota makes some of the tastiest (and inventive) cheese around.
Cowgirl Creamery- Cowgirl has always done an amazing job at making their own cheese, and supporting cheesemakers whose wares they carry. Two of my favorite packs from Cowgirl are their Meat & Cheese Collection (hello, charcuterie), and their Good Neighbors collection featuring cheeses from their local friends.
Lakin’s Gorge- This is a teeny, tiny, one-woman operation in Maine whose cheeses we can hardly ever get here and I can’t help but love them. Do they offer a lot? No. But what they’re now selling is pretttttty cool.
Tulip Tree Creamery- Like creamy or boozy cheeses? Check out this small creamery in Indiana. If you’ve been following my Day Drinking videos on Instagram, maybe you already know them. Really, everything they make is good.
Jasper Hill - Breathe deep, cheese geeks, Jasper’s seasonal, raw-milk Winnimere is on sale (!!!!). Plus, their GIFT PACKS, such as the Wurst Kӓse Scenario, stuffed with whey-fed pork sausage, look amazing.
Sweet Grass Dairy- This company runs one of the best grass-fed, rotational pasture dairies (and one of the first successful commercial ones) in the country. They make beautiful milk and cheese in Georgia. If you didn’t already know, Southern cheese rocks. Would I like a Georgia on my Mind pack with a Pimento Cheese add on? Don’t mind if I do!
Parish Hill- Does it look like they make everything? They do! Because this creamery is run by one of the best cheesemakers and cheese consultants in the country. There is nothing I wouldn’t recommend on their site. See something you think you may like? Get it. You will.
