New Arrivals  

Cantenaar Cheese 

This Dutch cheese, prepared according to the highest principles of craftsmanship, distinguishes itself from other cheeses by its delicious full flavor. Moreover, because Cantenaar contains less fat and salt than ordinary cheese it is the perfect compliment to a health lifestyle. 

This cow’s milk cheese is a low-fat light cheese containing 17% Milk Fat. 

Cablanca Cheese 

Cablanca is an excellent ‘entry level’ goat’s milk cheese if you want to try something different but are not so sure about the usually assertive taste of traditional goat cheese. Cablanca has the characteristic of goat milk but is milder than traditional unpasteurized goat’s milk cheeses. This cheese has a delicate, citrus tanginess and firm but creamy texture and a snow-white color. 

This gourmet cheese is perfect to serve at breakfast, on a cheese platter, in salads, melted on toast, and tossed with cooked vegetables. Cablanca is also very low in cholesterol.

I love every flavor she makes, but the orange apricot marmalade is the one I reach for first”.
