Pointe Reyes Quinta
- Bloomy Rind Cheese
- Cow's Milk Pasteurized
- Pointe Reyes USA
Quinta is a soft-ripened, bloomy rind cheese, inspired by the very famous, seasonally made cheeses from the Jura mountain region along the French-Swiss border. The interior texture is silky-smooth, and the rind is fluffy, yet slightly firm. Each wheel is wrapped in Spruce bark that has been infused with the essence of CA Bay Laurel. The younger wheels have a custardy texture with a slight buttermilk freshness and a vanilla cream finish. The more mature wheels are softer (and spoonable!) in texture. The richer flavor is filled with fresh creamery butter in the beginning and expands to notes of woodsy-mustard and wild mushroom with a CA Bay Laurel herbaceousness in the finish.
