Inspired by classic French mountain cheese Beaufort, Pleasant Ridge Reserve is a true American classic. The firm, beeswax-yellow paste of this handcrafted, raw-milk cheese boasts vivid savory and fruity flavors alongside a delicate crunch. Made exclusively from spring through early fall, its complexity comes from a strict grass-based diet, happy cows, and careful aging.
