A bloomy rind pasteurized cow’s milk from Cedar Grove, NC. Our good friends at Boxcarr Handmade Cheese are totally nailing Piedmont (Northern Italy) style bloomy rind cheeses like nobody else in the country. For fans of milder Camemberts and Bries, Cottonbell is all about the butter with just a hint of fresh-button-mushroominess. Cottonbell wheels are typically 16-18oz squares.

Our favorite application: Cottonbell registered somewhere around a double creme, so we go full-French and dive in with crusty bread and some bubbly.

Tastes like: Fresh white mushrooms, cultured butter, blanched almonds.

The Brass Tacks:

• Boxcarr Handmade Cheese - Cedar Grove, NC

• Milk Sourced from Nearby Farms

• Season: Available year-round, but we tend to only carry Cottonseed when the goat’s are milking
