This favorite from Beecher’s fleet of artisan cheeses celebrates the great thirteenth-century adventurer Marco Polo – credited with bringing pepper and other discoveries to Europe.
Beecher’s Marco Polo takes lightly milled and cracked green and black peppercorns and blends them with our creamy cheese. The resulting cheese is rich in savory umami and butter notes.
The king of cheese is made in 200-pound wheels from fresh, raw milk produced by grass-fed cows on family farms. Expert cheesemakers then age it for a minimum of 4 months in the microclimate of the Emmi cellars.
Firm yet supple, Emmentaler AOP offers a nutty flavor with slight acidity and just a hint of herbs.
After 9 to 11 months of aging, this cheese is wrapped in grape leaves which have been soaked in a pear spirit. This one of a kind cheese is made once annually. Made by Rogue Creamery.
While Beemster's original gouda already carries an excellent flavor, Garlic Gouda only expands upon it. This super creamery gouda is aged for 1 month and ready to pair with any dish.
