Do you love coffee and wish you could have it with your cheese? Try this amazing cheese. The recipe is based on a cheddar and then transformed by rubbing the exterior with coffee and lavender. The cheese has a nice acidity to it, but it is rounded by the flavor of the coffee that penetrates the paste giving it deep notes of chicory. The cheese is aged for 8 months allowing the flavors to mix together and create one of the most inventive cheeses we have seen.

Uses:

Enjoy by itself with oat crackers or whole wheat breads. You could add a fruit compote for your afternoon snack.

Pairings:

Try it with a nice glass of bourbon or scotch.
