We are so very honored to have just received two “Best in Class” awards for our Cavemaster Reserve cheeses — Greensward and Hudson Flower — at the US Cheese Championships on March 19th in Wisconsin!
Greensward and Hudson Flower are two of eight Cavemaster Reserve cheeses, which are sourced from local cheesemakers and begin as young artisan cheeses before going through the affinage tradition. Murray’s team tries various methods and special applications, determined by the cheese, including covering a cheese in herbs, or wrapping in brandy-soaked apple leaves, or washing in local beer, but most importantly, allowing time and attention to develop each cheese’s full flavor potential.
Greensward, bathed in cider and brine, is big and bacony, with a luscious, silky texture and notes of forest and resin from its tidy spruce jacket. Hudson Flower is more delicate with its coating of herbs like hops flower and thyme. Both are beautiful reflections of the flavors of New York state.
Stay tuned — we plan to introduce 3 new Cavemaster Reserve cheeses in the coming year!
