Trilby
Trilby is washed in local Dad’s Hat Rye Whiskey as it matures, and enrobed in fig leaves from our farm or a neighboring organic farm which are soaked in the rye. Huge flavors full of beef and buttermilk, plus a sweetness from the leaf - creamy, buttery texture and rye aroma. This is a washed rind cheese with a creamsicle hued rind, but it is common for a touch of blue or white molds to appear. Trilby is a petit pasteurized round. It's a boozy, funky paradise for specialty farmstead cheese lovers. Trilby is a winner of the Good Food Awards for 2024!
Seasonal: usually available mid July - early December

Enjoy Trilby young for yogurty tang and a semi-soft texture, or let it ripen into a funky, nutty ooze. It’s wonderful slathered on a piece of sourdough bread and enjoyed near a cozy fireplace, glass of Dad’s Hat Rye in hand.
