The Cheese Club at the Co-op

The Cheese Club is a monthly cheese subscription club for  Co-op members hosted by Helen McIntosh, Co-op cheese buyer and local chef.

 

This is an opportunity to get first dibs on new, specialty, and seasonal cheeses from the Co-op. When you sign up for cheese club you agree to purchase an 8 oz. piece of the “Cheese of the Month” or upgrade to any size piece. The Cheese of the Month will be pre-selected and emailed to cheese club members and published here with the price and a brief description. Members have the option to opt out of any month. Cheese pickup will be once a month around the 15th. Please check your email for your pick up notification. Any cheese left past the 23rd of the month will be charged to your member account.

​

Cheese Club Member perks:

  • Help pick the cheese of the month. Make special requests! Share your cheese knowledge and passion.

  • Give feedback after tasting the cheeses and vote on whether the Co-op should stock each cheese.

  • Earn a $5 reward coupon after each three months of cheese club participation.

  • Cheese tasting party at the coop twice annually for cheese club members.  We will sample cheeses from the Co-op and pair them with other delicious items (spreads, preserves, fruits, crackers, nuts, chocolates, etc...)  available at the Co-op.

Lively Run, Cayuga Blue

 

Lively Run Dairy, Interlocken, New York, has been a family run farm and cheesemaker in the Finger Lakes Region since 1982. They make small batch cheeses and have sustainable farming practices, keeping their herds of goats and cows on pasture, and working to care for the land and reuse waste. 

​

Cayuga Blue is a cave aged Roquefort style blue made from pasteurized goat's milk.

 

"An unusually earthy, not sharp blue cheese . It was named “one of the most influential cheeses” in the United States by Saveur magazine, being one of the very first domestically made Blue cheeses from 100% goat’s milk.

The flavor is earthy, umami and mushroom notes. The paste is firm and crumbly."

​

Please let Helen know by October 8th if you would like to opt out of October's cheese.
