She’s back! You would think we have a thing for this cheese maker….and we do.

Cheese Maker Avery Jones, who won her first American Cheese Society blue ribbon at age 15 for her Aries cheese, uses a percentage of profits to donate to veterans and amputees while funding her college education. Impressive, no?

Cheese Capricorn is a unique goat milk blue cheese where wheels are punctured with needles to allow air in and let the blue ribbons develop, creating a firm, rindless, chalk-white wheel at three months of aging.

Tasting Notes: The flavor profile is bright, subtle, and complex, with a distinctive mushroomy character from the blue development. 

Pairing Suggestions: Try this cheese with a fresh apple or pear, which seems like a no-brainer, but I’m going to go crazy here and tell you to try this one with a BROWNIE! No, really, I had this pairing in England last week.
