| Fall in Love with The Fawn |
|
| For Chris and Julie Gentine, owners of Deer Creek® Cheese, summer is about the simple pleasure of enjoying exceptional cheese like the Fawn, a Gold Winner at both the International and World Cheese Awards. This delicate, yet nutty and complex, young cheddar pairs perfectly with cherries, multigrain baguette and candied nuts. “We typically put together a cheese board using fruits that are in season, artisan crackers, breads, jams, nuts and charcuterie,” says Julie. |

| Feta, the Ultimate Summertime Staple |
|
| Tart, salty, fresh and crumbly—popular Odyssey® Traditional Feta by Klondike Cheese Company is full of character and adds personality to any dish from appetizers to entrées. Judges agreed this feta is a standout, having won First Place at both the World Champion Cheese Contest and the United States Cheese Championship. Taste a new treat, top honeydew melon with crumbled feta, agave syrup and grated orange zest. Pair it with margaritas, and summer is served. |

| Life is Better with BelGioioso® |
|
| BelGioioso® handcrafts quality, small-batch Italian fresh cheeses that are milky, creamy, and oh so dreamy. Layer the flavors of a fresh cheese, such as Crescenza-Stracchino™, with summer's best produce. Stack it with grilled steak and peaches or melt it on flatbreads. “I like it spread on a fresh, crusty baguette topped with heirloom tomatoes and arugula,” says Francesca Auricchio Elfner, BelGioioso Vice President. Savor these bites especially on those sultry nights. |
