How We Ship

FreshWave Packaging

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality.

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.

This world-renowned AOC Swiss cheese has been made for more than 800 years, since it was first created by Swiss monks at the Abbey de Bellelay in the Jura Mountains, near the French-Swiss border. From there the recipe for this Alpine-style beauty was shared with local farmers before being passed down through the generations. Made with milk from cows that graze on local pastures in the spring, summer, and fall and are fed hay during the winter, Tete de Moine (“monk head”) has a sticky orange rind that’s been washed in brine. Tete de Moine is most famous for the way it’s traditionally served: By gently shaving the top with a device called a Girolle, the resulting beautiful rosettes of cheese accentuate its aroma and melt in your mouth.

Creamy, slightly fudgy, and semi-hard with a strong, sweet, nutty, slightly fruity flavor and a long, complex finish, it pairs beautifully with speck, cornichons, grainy mustard, dried fruits, or shaved over warm potatoes.
