December 14th Holiday Party at Liberty Fields Farm, Saco where it was —
Holiday Tomme!
What a great event.
Besides the warm and spirited hosting by Liberty Fields Farm, our Holiday Party featured seven different Tommes made from the same recipe but each bearing the flavor, milk type, local flora and personality of the cheesemakers around the state. There were hard and soft pate’s, there were buttery and silky textures, there was “goaty” and “cow-y” and complex flavors — sometimes all in the same cheese (Appleton Creamery brought a triple-milk version). There was also bright red local membrillo to accompany the panoply of personal cheeses. It was a lesson about how much of the local cheesemaker goes into making their cheese.

bloomy rind, washed rind and blue cheese
Edible Rind is Maine’s newest licensed creamery, located in Scarborough that specializes in organic hand crafted cheese. Our cheese is certified organic by Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA).
We believe that great cheese comes from great raw milk. Organic stewards of the land, Mike and Rick Guillemette, father and son team at Brook Ridge Farm in Lyman Maine along with their gentle natured herd of milking shorthorns provide us with pristine milk with gobs of golden butterfat floating on the top. High butterfat and high protein levels are excellent qualities for cheese making.
Fitting with the long standing tradition of artisanal foodways, Edible Rind uses small batches of the freshest milk along with hand dipping, hand salting and hand turning all of our cheeses.
Our first cheese is a soft bloomy rind cheese in the tradition of the great Camembert. Named Essence, our cheese has a deep mushroom nose and a fluffy edible rind, right under which is a creamy, oozy portion encircling a slightly chalky textural heart.
We are developing other cheeses and they are aging peacefully in our caves. When perfectly ripe, we will pass on the retail and restaurant locations where you may find us. To paraphrase from our wine friends, we will serve no cheese before its time…
We are grateful to be producing cheese in the Portland area. Gifted chefs, savvy cheesemongers, farmers and store owners as well as devoted foodies are all contributing to a strong locavore movement. We vigorously support MOFGA, Slow Food Portland and the Maine Cheese Guild.
Please watch our website for new developments and updates. Feel free to write or call anytime with questions or comments.
Yours in cheese,
Bob and Kim
