Nightshade is a long-aged cheese inspired by Fons' (the cheese maker) favorite, Old Amsterdam. This washed-curd cheese is rich and full-flavored, with a hint of sharpness balanced by deep caramel undertones. Its smooth, firm texture develops beautifully over time, aging for at least 6 months—sometimes over 12—to achieve a complex, lingering finish. Perfect for savoring on its own or pairing with bold accompaniments, Nightshade is a true delight for lovers of aged cheese!
Made by Tulip Tree Creamery with milk from Country Meadows!
Pairing: Bolder white wines (Savignon Blanc), almost all red wines, Chocolate & Crusty Bread. This cheese seriously pairs with almost everything.
