We’re thrilled to include Goat Cheddar Reserve, an exclusive, award-winning, and extra-aged release, in our Summer 2025 Cheese Club shipment!
This standout cheddar earned First Place in its category at the 2022 American Cheese Society Awards, a Silver Medal at the 2025 California State Fair Cheese Competition, and a spot in Culture Magazine’s Best Cheeses of 2022.
After spending a year in our aging cave, Goat Cheddar Reserve emerges with a nutty, tangy complexity that sets it apart. And there’s only one way to get your hands on it: it’s only available in our Summer 2025 Cheese Club box.
Clothbound and Cave-Aged
Goat Cheddar Reserve starts with 100% farmstead milk from our herd of LaMancha goats and is made using traditional English cheddar techniques. After culturing and cheddaring the curds (a process of stacking, turning, and cutting to develop texture and acidity), the curds are milled, salted, and wrapped in muslin.
The wheels then rest in our aging cave for about a year to develop its bold flavor. The clothbound aging method allows the cheese to breathe and results in a dense, fudgy texture with a signature crystalline crunch.
When unwrapped, the cheese reveals a deeply savory interior and a natural rind marked with dark lines from the cloth, a visual reminder of the careful aging process it’s undergone.
Because of the time and care required, only a small number of wheels are aged to this stage. It’s a slow, deliberate process that makes Goat Cheddar Reserve extra special and delicious.
Bright, Savory, and Full of Umami
This cheese is bold and deeply savory, with flavors of roasted hazelnut, brown butter, and a Parmesan-like umami depth. A subtle brightness still shines through, thanks to the tangy character of our goat’s milk. The texture is firm yet creamy, studded with satisfying tyrosine crystals that crunch as you bite in.
For the perfect pairing, try it with our Stepladder Avocado Blossom Honey, which is also included in this season’s Cheese Club box. The honey’s floral richness beautifully balances the cheddar’s savory intensity.
Only in the Summer 2025 Cheese Club
Because of the time, space, and care required to age each wheel of Goat Cheddar Reserve, we’ve made a very limited batch and it’s only available in our Summer 2025 Cheese Club box.
Join the Cheese Club to get exclusive access to Goat Cheddar Reserve and a curated selection of small-batch cheeses and pairings that celebrate the season.
