Serena
The fertile San Joaquin
Valley rests peacefully in the long shadow of the vast Sierra Nevada mountain
range. It is a land where the precise combination of sun, good soil, and water
result in a variety of crops, including vast pasturelands. Tulare County, within
the San Joaquin Valley and the largest dairy region in the nation, is where
Three Sisters Farmstead Cheese has set up shop. Three Sisters hand wraps their
cheeses in cheesecloth before allowing the cheese to air dry and age naturally.
If classic Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano
and tulip-sniffing Gouda were to marry, Serena would be their delicious progeny.
A rich, nutty, and bright flavor develops in the cow's milk cheese during the
nine to twelve month aging process and the texture becomes dry and flakey.
