These cheeses will be replacing the Manchego and the Blu Di Bufala


Garrotxa - Spain $6
Goat, Aged 2 Months, Sweet & Piquant
This is a pasteurized goats milk cheese from Catalonia. It is a tomme style cheese, tommes are cheeses produced using low fat milk that is left over after cream is removed. It is aged for 2 months and develops a grey mold on the outside with a woodsy aroma. The interior is semi firm with a cakey texture. The flavor is milky, and sweet, a little herbaceous.


Caveman Blue - Rogue Creamery Oregon $7
Cow, Raw, Cave Aged 9 months, Natural Rind
This is a raw cow's milk cheese from Rogue creamery in Oregon. They use only sustainably farmed milk from a single herd of swiss brown, and holstein cows. The cheese is cave aged for 9-12 months. The flavor is rich with a little bit of funk, but smooth and not too tangy.

Green Strawberries will replace the gooseberries on the Foi Gras Pate

Green Strawberries are just underripe regular strawberries. They are sliced thinly and poached in a mixture of riesling, sugar, champagne vinegar, and tarragon.
