In a recent CSA order I received a small wheel of cheese from Nettle Meadow Farm called Three Sisters. I am a big fan of Nettle Meadow’s Kunik, so I thought I’d give another one of their cheeses a try. While I don’t think it’s on the level of the Kunik – which is, granted, stratospherically good – it’s very good.
I’ve enjoyed a quarter of a wheel as part of a light lunch or dinner. The cheese is fairly firm, though mostly I’ve eaten it after it’s sat out for 5-10 minutes; it would likely soften a bit if left out a little longer. It’s a mild cheese and is good all by itself – no bread or crackers are needed. I eat the rind, too.
I like it enough to order it again, for sure. If you’d like to try it, here is where you can find it. And if you are reading this and are a member of the Hellgate CSA, you can order it through our meat & dairy program.
