Alpine Sisters
Three original cheeses made with the silky organic milk of PastureLand’s own grass-fed cows.
Sogn – Named for the beautiful Sogn Valley in Goodhue County, MN. Sogn’s rind is washed with a bacteria schmear and aged a minimum of 18 months. This cheese has a moist, dense body, and intense assertive flavors. Sogn is wonderful melted into fondue, or paired with a local fruit preserve.
Berne – Lightly washed with Riesling wine and caraway. Berne yields hints of apple and grass. A long, savory finish, and delicous as a cheese to nibble on with Bock and Octoberfest beers.
Thoten – This delicious cheese’s subtle chewy texture and light nutty flavor may remind you of a young Parmesan. With a savory undertone, Thoten is great on pasta and salads.
