Schoch cheese (Santa Rita) 1/2 lb

Santa Rita is the newest creation. Made in the Trappist-style, this is the youngest, softest cheese. The unique aroma and flavor profiles develop during the minimum 2-month aging process, during which each cheese is washed daily to develop the smear-rind (washed-rind), which results in a beautifully red-hued thin rind that is edible. Santa Rita is not overpowering like some washed-rind cheeses, but starts subtle and pleasant and then gives way to some great beefy flavors enhanced by the aromatics of the rind.
