CHARCUTERIE

Bresaola
This unique Bresaola uses Porcini and Black Pepper. A dry-cured beef round that's elegant and lean, but when seasoned with porcini mushrooms and black pepper, its flavor gets funky and deep. Slice thinly and serve with arugula, Parmigiano and a nice olive oil.$54.00/lb
Chorizo
This dry-cured sausage is made with Ibérico meat and in the traditional Spanish way with pimentón and garlic. This gives the chorizo an exquisite aroma, low acidity and intense flavor.$25.00/lb
Sopressata
Subtly seasoned, it's authentic with the taste and texture of coarsely ground cuts of fresh pork. Rich, classic flavor is brought out by natural, deliberately slow aging.$22.00/lb
Finocciona
Finocciona is made from whole cuts of pork, fresh garlic, sherry wine and wild fennel seeds that add a mellow aroma and taste.$35.00/lb
Calabrese
Locally made with Italian heritage we will hand slice your order of Calabrese. A spicy Italian salami that gets its kick from cayenne pepper and paprika, making it zesty but not overpowering. Calabria is a region in Italy known for its spicy foods.$30.00/lb
Speck
Italian Speck is a smoked and dry-cured ham produced in the region of south Tyrol. Traditionally enjoyed with bread and wine, this could also liven up your next charcuterie board.$25.78/lb
C&G Iberico Shoulder
Free range Iberico pigs who graze on natural flora and acorns give this jamon from Spain a truly rich, buttery, nutty flavor unlike any jamon or prosciutto you've ever had... truly a culinary experience! Very hard to find this quality of meat- we will only have it for a short time so please come in and enjoy some on a board or purchase in our cheese shop.$75.00/lb
COW'S MILK

Alp Blossom
$46.00/lbFiscalini Cheddar
$21.00/lb
Fromager D'Affinois
The Cellar's fan favorite cheese, we call Daff. "The one with the honey & nuts." This french innovation is silky and tastes like cream and butter. Our favorite pairing is our signature wildflower honey and Marcona almonds with a glass of something bubbly.$35.00/lb
Gruyere
Rich, creamy, salty, and nutty flavor.$32.00/lb
Langres
French darling. They wash each little cow's milk round with brine and then rub it with raccou, a natural colorant derived from a tropical shrub. The elegantly wrinkled rind adds textural interest and develops a dense cream that is cakey at the core with a luscious creamline and distinctive porcine savoriness. Langres's signature, though, is its concave cap, designed to cradle a splash of terroir-appropriate Champagne. Cut a small slit into the middle to allow the bubbles to transform its demure fudginess into a brioche-laden creambomb. Cheers to a cheese that just might make a Francophile out of you.$16.00
Noord Hollander
This four year aged gouda has deep flavor with dark caramel overtones and tiny, crunchy crystals. It makes an excellent table cheese and is fantastic as a dessert cheese with wine, beer, or port. We love it with our house lavender caramel.$30.00/lb
Prima Donna
Prima Donna® has a nutty and creamy mild flavor and a bit of a tangy bite. With a solid body and small, regular holes, the cheese can be easily cut, grated and sliced. It can be eaten with fruit and beverages, or on crackers or breads. Aged 6 mo!$30.75/lb
GOAT'S MILK

Drunken Goat
This cheese encouraged me to open a cheese shop. This semi-firm pasteurized goat treasure from Spain's Mediterranean coast is cured for 48-72 hours in Doble Pasta red wine. The paste remains nearly pure white as the rind absorbs a lovely violet hue. The paste is sweet and smooth, delicately grape-y, with a gentle, pliable texture and mild fruit flavor. A D.O.P cheese, it pairs well with medium fruity reds. And you have to love the name.$30.00/lb
Humboldt Fog
Named for the rolling fog in Humboldt county, this masterpiece paved the way for soft-ripened goat cheese in America. Each handcrafted wheel features a distinctive ribbon of edible vegetable ash. You'll enjoy buttermilk & fresh cream, complemented with floral notes & herbaceous overtones, & a clean citrus finish. As Humboldt Fog matures, the creaminess develops & flavor intensifies.$42.00/lb
