Description: This is a pasteurized cows milk cheese.
Goot Essa Der Edel Bleu Kase is a farmstead, Stilton-style blue cheese with a mild cheddar cheese base. This gourmet quality, hand-made cheese came from a recipe developed by a group of Amish dairy farmers in Iowa. We hand inject each wheel with our proprietary mix of blue molds. This cheese is aged for eight months in a cave separate from our other cheeses in order to promote the mold growth. Der Edel Bleu Kase is a full-flavored blue, ripe with blue mold and with rich cheddar undertones, but with a clean, smooth finish. The texture is creamy smooth, yet with a full mouth feel.

This blue cheese is spectacular on crackers, toast and French bread. This cheese fits well with dessert white wines, such as Sauterne and Ice Wine. It compliments a wide range of red wines from the youngest of Pinot Noir to the heartiest Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec. Der Edel Bleu Kase adds dimension to the heartier brews such as stout, porter, and strong Belgian ale.

Flavor: Full flavored bleu, velvety rich
Aged: 8 months
Milk Type: Cow
Approximate shelf life: 2 months

Storage: Once opened, rewrap every fews days to maintain freshness. 
Goot Essa

Goot Essa

Goot Essa began in 2001 with a group of Amish dairy farmers who worked together to produce high quality cheese with some of their milk. Their goal then, as now, was to use their cheese-making expertise to provide enough extra income to keep their families on the farm. They have chosen to work their fields in the traditional way, with horse and manpower instead of machines. This means that their farms will be small, but each acre and each animal is cared for with love and the respect of nature because theirs are true family farms. Their goal is to offer food products made from the freshest, highest quality, all-natural ingredients. They make it all by hand, in small quantities, giving each one their individual attention. In the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect, “Goot Essa” means “good food” or “good eating.” It seems only natural to name their group Goot Essa, because they want you to share in their love of hand-made, good old-fashioned food—food with all the subtlety that means slowly aged and gourmet. Goot Essa, because they want you to share their love of recipes passed down over hundreds of years. That is their story—pride in the past, with hope for the future—Goot Essa.
