Cheese Tasting Journal
Keep track of your favorite cheeses in this handy Cheese Tasting Journal.
The journal includes 22 pages so you can record tasting notes and flavors to save your palate and mind for future reference. It's perfect for Cheese Club or Cheese Bundle tasting experiences or bring on your travels while snacking through foreign lands. And guess what?! It's actually made with a bit of Big Sur! We partnered with our friends at 33 Books Co. and included a bit of Big Sur in the ink so you can bring Stepladder cheese with you in the journal wherever you are off to next.
Happy eating (and journaling)!

Refrigerate Cheese Upon Arrival
As a friendly reminder, cheese is perishable. We do our best to pack each shipment with care and amble ice packs, but please try to refrigerate your cheese as soon as your shipment is delivered. Cheese should be stored in a standard refrigerator or alternative cool storage. Cheese can be served at room temperature for optimum flavor and texture, but then put back in the fridge for storage.
Heat Advisory (Summer Months)
During the summer months, extremely hot temperatures are causing delays in shipping and issues with our products, something we are unable to control. Here are recommendations for hot zone shipping when ordering our cheese online.
Option 1: Order your cheese online but ask us to hold shipping until these temps cool down a bit. Just remember that some cheeses like Chevre, Big Sur and Rocky Butte are seasonal and won't be available if put on hold past their season.
Option 2: Although we offer free ground shipping with UPS on orders over $50 in CA, AZ, NV, OR, WA, UT and ID, we suggest paying for overnight/air shipping to ensure the quality of your order. We understand it's expensive, but we are not able to fully guarantee your order won't arrive melty with the normal 2-3 day ground shipping in these high heats.
If you have other ideas or suggestions, please let us know. Thanks for your continued support!
