Soft Cheese

Wabash Cannonball

Made by Capriole Creamery · Southern Indiana, USA

★ —Not rated yet

Named after the famous train and eponymous song of southern Indiana, production of the Wabash Cannonball began in 1992. Dusted with ash, the cheese is thin skinned, white, and slightly wrinkled when young. At three weeks the rind becomes more deeply wrinkled and the ash begins to peek through. The paste becomes denser, and eventually, at three to five weeks, is drier and more crumbly.
