Ragged Point triple creme cheese

Ragged Point is a small format bloomy rind triple crème cow’s milk cheese named for the gateway to Big Sur just North of our farmstead. The paste stays firm as the cheese matures, and does not become overly soft. As Ragged Point ages past four weeks, it takes on a peppery character and a distinct cream line underneath the rind forms.

The creamy flavors of the cheese mixed with the fresh apple and walnut crunch are delicious in this melty sandwich!
