Riley’s 2x4

Made by Blue Ledge Farm · Salisbury, VT, USA

★ —Not rated yet

A true mixed milk cheese made from Blue Ledge Farm’s own goat’s milk and Ayrshire cow’s milk from nearby Mose Farm. Handcrafted and cave aged, allowing a natural rind to develop over time. The name “2x4” refers to the number of teats. Two from goats, four from cows. A staff favorite that balances brightness from the goat’s milk with the richness of cow’s milk.
