Pastoral Debuts New Cheese, Rush Creek Reserve
To celebrate the season, Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine is pleased to introduce a uniquely fall cheese called Rush Creek Reserve. Rush Creek comes from Upland Dairy the same makers of the well-loved cheese, Pleasant Ridge Reserve.
Rush Creek Reserve is made only in the autumn season, as the diet of Upland's cows begin to change from the fresh pastures of summer to the winter's dry hay. While Pleasant Ridge Reserve is aged many months in an effort to express the flavor complexity of the grass-fed milk, Rush Creek Reserve is designed to show off the richer texture of the hay-fed milk and the delicate ripeness of a soft, young cheese.
Like Pleasant Ridge Reserve, Rush Creek Reserve is made with raw milk, and the two cheeses are aged side-by-side in ripening rooms, sharing the environment that gives the cheese its characteristic savory flavors. Rush Creek Reserve is inspired by the French Vacherin Mont d'Or, and is bound in spruce bark, which gives shape to the soft round and imparts a sweet, woodsy flavor to the cheese. Combined with the savory flavors born from the rind, this gives the custard-soft paste a deep but delicate richness, reminiscent of beef broth or finely cured meat. Pastoral offers Rush Creek Reserve for $25.99 for a 4-5 inch round.

The French trained Pastry Chefs at Vanille Pastisserie are proud to announce their fall seasonal pies.
