Day 677 : New Cheese Discovery - Butternut

Nope this is not a squash that's for sure, this is Willow Hill Farm's raw cow's milk Alpine style cheese. This plank six month aged cheese is produced in four pound rounds. Firm and crumbly in texture with a nice nutty rustic barnyardy bite to it. This would be an excellent wintertime snacking cheese or even grated over some pasta in place of say a Parmesan. An awarding winning cheese this previous year at the 2011 World Cheese Awards, it is most certainly worth a taste.
