As summer rolls in and the days grow longer, we’ve put together a Cheese Club box that captures the season's warmth and brightness in every bite. This bold, satisfying lineup is made for sun-drenched grazing boards, long, lazy evenings, and all your summer snacking dreams.
Here’s a taste of what’s coming in this season’s box.
This season’s exclusive cheese: Goat Cheddar Reserve
The star of this season’s Cheese Club shipment is our Goat Cheddar Reserve—a rich, nuanced cheese that’s been patiently aged to perfection. We start with 100% farmstead milk from our LaMancha goats, then mill and salt the curds before binding the wheels in muslin. As it ages, the cheese develops a dense, fudgy texture, a signature crystalline crunch, and layers of nutty, tangy complexity that can only come from great milk and time. Enjoy it with an ice-cold beer, juicy stone fruit, or a drizzle of honey for a perfect summer pairing.
It’s a true standout in our aging room, and a proud recipient of multiple awards, including first place in the 2022 American Cheese Society Awards and a silver medal in the 2025 California State Fair Cheese Competition.

This season’s supporting lineup is all about vibrant flavor and picnic-ready versatility:

What Makes This Shipment Special?
This season’s box brings you a true taste of the land. Our Goat Cheddar Reserve, Chèvre, and honey are all 100% farmstead—made right here at Stepladder Ranch & Creamery from ingredients that have never left the farm.
Our goats graze the same pastures where our bees collect nectar. They share the same sunshine, water, and wild forage—capturing a true sense of place in every bite. It’s a delicious expression of our coastal California terroir, and we’re thrilled to share it with you!
