Cutlass
Chapel’s Country Creamery owners, Trisha & Jarred Boyce, put their cheesemaking skills to the test with this washed rind gem. Perfectly funky and tangy, Cutlass is washed for at least 1 month with Cutlass Vienna Lager from Heavy Seas Brewery in Baltimore, Maryland. The tacky orange rind has a pleasant granular texture contrasting sharply from the super creamy, bright, and smooth palate. The washing process lends a funky and bitter finish to the cheese balancing the sweet and tangy paste.
