Raw-milk farmstead cheese with bits of bacon through it.

A Dutch-style cheese made from raw cow's milk from the Stuyt family's own herd, with real bacon worked into the curd. Salty, smoky and rich, and about as far from a plain block of cheddar as a cheese gets. Aged a minimum of sixty days. Raw milk keeps the enzymes and cultures pasteurization removes, which is why it tastes fuller than a young cheese usually does.

Who this is for

• Scrambled eggs, omelets and breakfast burritos
• Cubed on a board with pickles and mustard
• Baked potatoes, twice-baked especially
• Anyone who thinks the answer to most questions is bacon
