Luna Moth cheese

Description

Luna Moth cheese

Like the gossamer wings and ethereal presence of its namesake, the Luna Moth is pure elegance. Deer Creek has taken its handmade, bandage-wrapped Cheddar and bathed it in elderflower liqueur. The elderflower’s notes of honied fruits and green florals blossom among the nutty flavors of sweet finish Cheddar cheese. The result? A sophisticated tasting experience seemingly steeped in starlight.

Ingredients: Pasteurized cow milk, salt, elderflower liqueur, cultures, enzymes.

The Artisan Cheese Exchange, located in northeast Wisconsin, makes a great variety of wonderful cheeses.  Fromagination carries several of the Deer Creek brand varieties, including Luna Moth.  Also carried by Fromagination are Imperial Buck, Blue Jay, Robin, Wild Boar, Rattle Snake, The Doe, Vat 17 Cheddar and Proprietor’s Grand Reserve cheeses.  Founder Chris Gentine chose the names and labeling for these artisan cheeses based her affinity for a children’s storybook, The Golden Story Book of River Bend, which was written by Richard Scarry’s wife Patricia Scarry.
