Marinated Fromage Blanc
Marinated Fromage Blanc is packed full of locally sourced olive oil, black peppercorns, bay leaf and a chili pepper. Eat the cheese and save the oil and contents for salad dressing.
Serving & Storing Suggestions:
We recommend refrigerating all our cheeses before/after eating, including the Marinated Fromage Blanc. You will want to remove from the fridge and bring to room temp before eating - typically, this can take 15-30 minutes for the olive oil to re-liquify and makes it much easier to scoop/spread the cheese and olive oil on crackers or bread.

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!
