Uplands Cheese

Pleasant Ridge Reserve

Made in the Old World style of cheese making from un-pasteurized milk, this cheese exhibits flavors from the variety of pasture grasses which becomes more intense as the cheese ages. Typically served as an appetizer or with the dessert course, cooking with this cheese can add superb flavors to your dish.

 

Pairs nicely with Sauvignon Blanc.
