- Pairings: Tomatoes, grapes, lager, mild red wine

“Truly a Gem”
“This is well worth a visit! We go here often and the variety is wonderful and the cheese is literally award winning (check out the display). Friends and family who generally think they don’t like anything beyond cheddar are astounded by the number of cheeses they love from here. ”
