Second Mouse Cheese

Our friend, Gina, forwarded this incredibly charming blast from the past. Food for thought this Christmas Eve. https://youtu.be/oDGMtYZ8iYE

Word to the wise: our Hanukkah Gelt tastes so much better than that other stuff. If you’ve ever had the Other Stuff, you know it needs a little improvement. Our gold-dusted dreidels filled with chocolate coins, put simply, do not.

Our loyal customers have been waiting eons for our, uh, Buyer to get her act together and get Coppinger back in the case. Dear friends, today’s your day. This raw milk, earthy, gorgeous li’l wheel of deeeeelish is back in stock, straight from the cheese maker to the Mouse House. We’re delighted to see it again (along with Dancing Fern!!! And @sequatcheese’s latest innovation, Walden, a pasteurized 7oz puck of nutty, earthy gooey ooomph). Coppinger blasts any mass-produced Morbier out of the water and a far distance from consideration. Come check some out for yourself.

The Addams Family is welcoming all Cheese-Loving visitors today.

Gift baskets. Each one is customized to your tastes and budget. And yes, we ship ‘em. Head online to order your Happy Holidays gifts. Or call us to arrange something particular. We’ve got you covered. (The earlier the better this year, folks - UPS and FedEx and USPS are coordinating more shipments than ever.)

Stop everything you’re doing. The French Onion Grilled Cheese is back.

Last minute Hanukkah gift idea!!! Our @victorycheese box is available for pick-up this weekend and next. Subscriptions can be as short as one month, or as long as 6 months - your budget, your choice. This month covers small producers from the American SouthEast, @sequatcheese @goatladydairy @meadowcreekdairy @georgiasourdoughco @pickledpinkfoods @redclayhotsauce @callieshotlittlebiscuit. 10% of all sales go to a progressive agricultural organization. Starting at $60 - order on our website, under the Shop ~> Gifts tab.

Flory’s Truckle is back!!! This incredibly charming, sweet and crumbly cheddar hails from Jamesport, Missouri, by way of Milton, Iowa, where it ages. We’re thrilled to have it back in stock. Come grab yourself a wedge this weekend.

We’re getting spooky over here! Come and treat yourself to @lmnopbakery Seeded Turmeric bread and @jasperhillfarm and @scholtenfamfarm Scream Cheese. A little butternut squash soup rounds out the ghoulish trilogy. Let’s get scary!

Not a day goes by without a flash of astonishment, how this tiny shop with a niche focus can not only survive a cultural and economic crisis, but thrive. When we could be shadowed by a Bezos or a Kroger, we haven’t. And it doesn’t look like we will. Our dear, dear customers - you have our eternal gratitude. From our first-timers who overcome trepidation to give the unfamiliar a whirl; to our regulars who know us (and our names! and what makes us laugh!) and visit frequently; to the local folks who stop by just for a chat. We love you all and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We’re blessed to do what we love for a living. And we’re blessed to have you as our guests along this delicious and curious journey. Stay safe, stay sane(-ish), and know you’re doing something wonderful when you shop small and local.

It’s getting chilly at night. We have your Fondue blend ready to roll! (A recipe, too, if you need one.)

The moment so many of you have been waiting for. HUDSON VALLEY MARSHMALLOW CO. GRAHAMS HAVE ARRIVED!!!! Omg omg omg omg omg. And... run!

#VictoryCheese THIS WEEKEND!!! Friday, Saturday or Sunday pick-up. Reserve yours at https://www.secondmousecheese.com//cheese-of-the-month-club

Lemon PannaCotta with Candied Violets. While they last, folks.

This is Emmentaler. It is a 200lb wheel of awesomeness from Switzerland. We don’t have space in our li’l shop for the whole megillah, but we feel a need to share the scope of this thing. Right here is 1/12th of a wheel. Good golly!

Chillier days mean we’re entering melting season. Raclette (French now and Swiss soon), Reading (VT), Highlander (Goat/Cow, VT), Fontina Val d’Aosta (Italy), Bierkaas (Netherlands), Cantal (France) just to name a few.... They’re perfect for fondue nights, aligot, atop potatoes, on roast beef or chicken cutlets and in your face. Come get the cheeses that warm your heart & soul. This is the season of deliciousness.
