Bent River is Minneapolis-based Alemar Cheese Co.’s first cheese, and the one that put them on its map. It’s a Camembert-style cheese, so it’s a bloomy-rind cow’s milk cheese with a bright white rind and a creamy, soft, yielding, spreadable, glossy texture. The flavor is rich, clean, and buttery, with mushroomy notes and an overall lusciousness that you only find in the absolute finest bloomy-rind cheeses. One bite and you’ll understand why this cheese exploded onto the scene when it was launched in 2008! It partners well with fresh fruit, dried apricots, honey and nuts, and cured meats.Add to a sandwich for an extra hit of richness.
Alemar’s cheeses are crafted in Minneapolis, Minnesota, using time-honored techniques and old-world methods.
