Cocoa Cardona
Snuggly situated among the
softly flowing green hills and fertile pastures of central Wisconsin, the Carr
Valley Cheese Company has been making cheese for over a century. Sid Cook, the
current and fourth-generation owner, is one of a small group of certified Master Cheesemakers in the United States. He, along with the rest of the Carr Valley
Cheese Company, makes a select variety of cheeses. From traditional and smoked
Cheddars to Colbys and more unknown varieties like Benedictine, Carr Valley
Cheese Company pairs old-world traditions with creativity to make each cheese.
Two hedonistic indulgences embrace in
this very singular goat cheese. Carr Valley's original Cardona cheese is aged
with a rind that has been rubbed with velvety cocoa powder. The cocoa powder
infuses the smooth and snowy cheese with a subtle chocolate flavor, which is
balanced by the cheese's natural sharpness.
