Lamb Chopper is Cypress Grove’s only sheep milk cheese, but that’s not its only claim to fame. Lamb Chopper has a buttery color, smooth texture, and is mild on the palate, but don’t equate “mild” with “lack of complexity” — this is a nutty, subtly sweet cheese that’s semi-firm and meltable, thanks to the higher fat in sheep milk. Aged three months, Lamb Chopper is a real crowd pleaser and a favorite with kids — some might even call it the “type O” cheese.

Pairing recommendations: Shave over melon, mint, and prosciutto salad. Serve melted with sautéed mushrooms and polenta. Melt between rustic sliced bread for a grilled cheese everyone will love.

Ingredients: Pasteurized cultured sheep milk, salt, enzymes
