Buy it and hoard it, but eat it quickly – it is already aged 60 days (very long for a soft cheese) and should be consumed in a few days. That probably won’t be a problem.

I was lucky enough to travel to the Uplands dairy to meet with Andy Hatch, the creator of Rush Creek.

I am thrilled that one of my photos of Willi Lehner (of Bleu Mont Dairy) is in the June/July 2010 issue of Saveur magazine, available now.

Traditionally, cheddar cheese was bandaged (wrapped in cloth) and cave aged. It is pretty hard to find a cheddar that is made that way and well balanced, which is why Mont Bleu creamery’s cheese is so spectacular. This is the cheesemaker, Willie Lehner, pulling a plug to test it.
