Uplands Cheese is a family-run dairy and cheesery located on ‘Pleasant Ridge’ in south-west Wisconsin. Their flagship cheese, Pleasant Ridge Reserve, is made in the style of classic French mountain cheeses and is one of USA’s most highly awarded artisan cheeses. Made only between May and October while the cows are grazing on fresh Summer pastures, the flavours of Pleasant Ridge Reserve are reminiscent of another alpine classic – Beaufort, with hints of caramel and salt, together with complex layers of grass and flora.

Just in case the triple cream cheese Brillat Savarin isn’t indulgent enough for you, we have this version with a layer of shaved black truffle through the middle. The characteristic of this cheese is thick and creamy, the interior is complimented by the delicate perfume of black truffles. It is like eating whipped cream with truffles.

Caciocavallo Podolico Slow Food Presidio
Caciocavallo is a unique style of cheese commonly found throughout southern Italy. It is always made in a pear shape, then twisted into a knot at the top and tied together in pairs. This particular caciocavallo is made with the milk from Podolico cows – a rare breed of native cow that produces very high quality milk in very low quantities which gives the cheese an amazing aromatic complexity that lingers on the palate. The flavour is full and piccante with a pronounced bite. This cheese is a member of the Slow Food Presidium.

Roquefort AOP
Roquefort is one of the most famous French AOP cheeses. The flavour is big and bold with a burst of spicy blue mould on the front palate. The finish is creamy – but in an entirely different way to a cow’s milk cheese – more grassy and nutty, very deep and lingering. A salty note hums away in the background, bringing balance to all the flavours. Serve the French way – on a baguette with farmhouse butter and truffle honey.
