The Shy Brothers’ farm encompasses the highest land in a peninsula between the two branches of the Westport River. The farm gets cooling breezes in the summer, even fog some days. The salt air moderates temperatures in the winter months. The cows are able to stay at pasture longer than most in the region. The brothers are careful with their animals and of course don’t use any antibiotics or hormones on their milkers. The brothers control the quality of their herd, one of the secrets to great artisanal cheese!
We import two forms of delicious edible mold from France for the rind on each tiny cheese. They both protect the cheese and add to the complexity of the flavors. The first forms immediately and is buttery yellow and creamy in texture. The second is white and dusty in texture, and is the more flavorful of the two. It starts being visible about 10 days after the cheeses are made and continues to form. The whiter the surface flora, the more flavorful the rind!
