Yellow Moon Cheese Company, the artisan cheese arm of Wright Dairy in Alexandria, has come out with several new varieties of gourmet cheese, including a rich nutty fontina.
The fontina, named Alexandria, joins Red Hill Cheddar and Canebrake Gouda in the regular rotation of cheeses at Yellow Moon. The cheeses also become the base for a variety of additions. The gouda gets spiced up with a variety of home-grown peppers. Delicate truffles are added to the fontina. (Garfrerick’s Café in Oxford makes a killer gourmet mac-and-cheese with that truffled fontina cheese.)
And now cheesemakers David Wright and Corey Hinkel are experimenting with adding dark porter beer to the cheddar cheese.
