Lost Forever?
The Associated Press reports on the possible demise of an ancient cheese from Alpine France: the Persillé de Tignes is now being made by the last of what used to be dozens of family cheesemakers in the Savoie village of La Savinaz. As these older varieties of cheese fade away, will newer versions take their place in the kaleidoscope of dairy flavors? Or will we forever lose a unique example of “milk’s leap toward immortality”?

fresh and aged goat cheeses
In 2004, York Hill Farm celebrated its twentieth year of producing farmstead fresh and aged goat cheeses! Fresh cheeses are produced in plain or herb varieties, including our beautiful Chevre Roll with a swirl of dill or peppercorns. Capriano is our unusual and distinctive dry-aged goat cheese. This cheese combines a slightly sharp goats milk character with sweet caramel-like tones. Wheels are aged in their natural rinds for up to a year in our cheese cellar.
York Hill Farm cheese available from the farm and at specialty stores throughout New England
Product sold: retail, wholesale, on site.
