Hi everyone,

Today I wanted to plug an old favorite that’s made its return to the menu over at Revel: the small but decadent Merry Goat Round! This delightful little goat brie is made (almost) locally by FireFly Farms, and since FireFly is LGBTQ+ owned, what could possibly be better to shout-out on this week of all weeks? 🌈💙

Celebrating 20 years of cheesemaking, FireFly (located in Accident, Maryland) has been committed to working with local farmers, using sustainable farming and production practices, and working with environmental fluctuations throughout the year, rather than against them. The result: smaller yield, sustainably farmed cheeses made with care, with subtle differences in flavor season to season. Happy goats = happy cheese! If you want an absolute overload of cuteness, check out FireFly’s website, and marvel at said goats. 🐐

I love the unctuous, buttery texture of a triple cream as much as the next gal, but sometimes you want something a little lighter without sacrificing decadence. Younger wheels of MGR have a gentle acidity, with just the slightest bit of a chalky texture in the middle. As it ripens, the paste becomes softer and creamier as the citrusy, floral notes turn more savory and buttery. It’s absolutely delicious at any stage, and the perfect soft cheese for the lactose intolerant to enjoy! 😉

Please consider giving MGR a try next time you are dining at Revel, or pick one up from the cheese case here at Unw**ed. I for one cannot wait to spread the gospel to all of my lactose intolerant friends! 🙌

Peace, love, and cheese,
Lisa (friend of the goats) 🫶

It’s baaaacccckkk! 😱

People say that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, and for many that may be true. However, for me, there is this little window right before Thanksgiving, on the heels of Samhain, that’s perhaps even more exciting. Like an apparition - practically appearing out of thin air - three black wax wheels of cheese landed on my “desk” today, and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that Black Betty season is upon us at last. 🙌

Some people call it “Black Betty,” others prefer the more descriptive but less pleasing to the ears nomenclature of “Brabander Reserve.” But for me, Black Betty is synonymous with the beginning of my career as a cheesemonger. I will never forget seeing the auspicious, glossy, black wheels soaring (on a cart, sadly they don’t fly) through the brightly lit aisles of the market I worked at, and my mentor at the time proudly telling me that we were one of the only shops in the area to get it, given his personal friendship with the ICON Betty Koster herself. 🇳🇱

Betty is somewhat of a deity in the cheese world. Known for making some of the best goudas in the world, Black Betty is her special, seasonal offering. Late Spring wheels of her goat gouda, Brabander are aged until the holidays, yielding one of the most exceptional cheeses I have ever tasted. Brabander’s beautiful balance of sweet and savory notes with a long lactic finish intensify as the wheels age into their own majesty. The result is an absolute flavor bomb; imagine the vanilla and caramelized flavors of creme brulee contrasted against an umami sharpness and an actual crunch from the aging process. It’s absolutely divine! 🤤

It simply must be tasted to believed, so please join us during our w**e tasting tomorrow from 2-5 where I will be sampling Black Betty out to the masses. 🥂

Hope to see you there, IN COSTUME!!!! 👻

Happy Halloween, and as always:
Peace, love, and cheese,
Lisa 🫶🔮🎃🪄

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all enjoying the crisp, autumnal air as much as I am! I’m super excited to be back on the ‘gram today to let you know that we have several fabulous new cheeses in our case, as well as on the menu at Revel. Rejoice! 🥂

Sadly, character limits restrict me from featuring all of them in this post, but I’ll be introducing them slowly over the next couple of weeks, so please stay tuned. Anyway, I figured since we have this lovely cooler weather to enjoy, what better to feature than our new Mountain Raclette! 🏔️

Made by the Kleinstein Creamery in Werthenstein, Switzerland and distributed by our good friends at Gourmino, this raclette is unlike any others you have tried in the past. This is not just meant to be melted over potatoes as tradition dictates - although I certainly would never tell you NOT to do that - but should also be enjoyed as a table cheese. It’s firmer than other raclettes I have tried, with a deeper, nuttier flavor and lingering umami that truly sets it apart from the others. 🇨🇭🧀

While it features the typical aromatic washed rind characteristic of raclette, this version isn’t quite as pungent. I obviously have no qualms about stronger cheese, but I also understand that most of you aren’t trying to send your dinner guests running for the hills. However, don’t mistake a lack of funk for lack of flavor. I get sweet cream up front, followed by toasted nuts, and then a lingering, savory, brothy finish that actually makes me excited for winter. ❄️

Please come try this new cheese either in the shop, or over at Revel! We’ll be sampling some out tomorrow during our w**e tasting, so come join us and start getting into the holiday spirit! Thanksgiving is right around the corner…🍗

That’s all for now!

As always,
Peace, love, and cheese,

Hi everyone,

Hope you’re enjoying this cloudy, moody Friday as much as I am. There’s something about being inside a cozy shop on a day threatening rain that I find deeply relaxing. But, to business: I wanted to pop on the ‘gram to let you know that we have a fun new fall cheese! 🍁🧀

Sierra la Solana is a manchego enriched with real, black truffles; none of that fake crap which will give you a headache and make your olfactory system glitch for the rest of the day. We can thank Maria Jose in La Mancha for setting the bar so high for truffle-based cheeses; she uses only the finest raw milk from the manchega sheep, blended meticulously with 100% real, black truffles. The wheels are then aged for about three months before they make their various adventures around the globe. ✈️

I feel it’s a little unnecessary to rattle off a bunch of tasting notes for this cheese as it’s pretty obvious what it tastes like. Basically, it tastes like really good Manchego. With truffles. Obviously. But I will say, one thing that I really adore about this cheese is the fact that the rind is 100% natural, edible, and adds a fantastic texture to each bite. 🍄‍🟫

This is a seasonal item here at Unw**ed, so come get this cheese at some point this fall/winter. If you need any more persuading, it took home the silver medal at the World Cheese Awards in 2023. And who knows, in the next couple of weeks you just might see it over on the menu at Revel as well…😏

See you all next weekend when I’m back from the beach! October beach trips >>>> 👻🌊

As always,
Peace, love, and cheese,
