The cheese is only made in the months when the cows are grazing on natural mountain pastures of wildflowers, herbs, and natural grasses. These flavors are expressed through the cheese. Great as a table cheese, it can be melted for warmed sandwiches and even fondue. Made on a family farm that raises around 100 cows for their cheese production.

Let customers speak for us
I stumbled upon this place when I was picking up my Thanksgiving catering from Fox Bros, and WOW. I got a small selection of cheeses and every single one was a winner. Truly felt like I was back in a European local cheese shop and I couldn’t go wrong. Decided to send one of their boxed sets as a Christmas gift to my fellow local cheese lover, and they are blown away as well. If you are a foodie or if you are looking to elevate an event, get your cheeses here.
I was very happy to find this organic manchego cheese! Seems to be a rare commodity. The cheese is aged but not dry. Delicious!
We are loving our monthly cheese subscription. The entire family gets so excited each time it comes! The selections have been delicious and unique and we are hooked!!
My son is a food and wine snob ( so to speak). This cheese was rated by him as not only a treat but, excellent! We’ll definitely gift him one of your wonderful cheese selections again. Dana greiner
I gave the Curated Cheddar Collection to multiple people as a gift. They were blown away by the quality and how "fun" the various cheddar tastes were. I couldn't be more pleased!
Orders were delivered promptly to some very pleased friends. Great job.
The cheese of the month club is a blast. What could be more fun than three mystery delicious cheeses arriving at your door?!?
I am a member of the Classic Cheese of the Month Club at Capella. It is a great way to sample various cheeses...many that you may never have tried. Each cheese is accompanied by production, taste and flavor information. It even comes with a wine pairing. My first month included a Castelinhos, which quickly became one of my favorites. This month included an Iberica Mezcla, which also is now a favorite. If you love cheese, this is a great way to sample various cheeses from around the world.
I set up the Cheese of the month club as a birthday gift for someone. I was first planning on doing it for 3 months. But recipient loved it so much & said it is the best gift they ever received (their spouse is jealous they didn't think of it), we decided keep it going. Mainly because they are so special and do so much for us, but also because I know if we quit, their spouse would probably start it up and we couldn't do it again next year! LOL
Wonderful company with the finest cheeses and other exceptional products.
I have to admit that I'm a TRUE cheese fan. I could never be a vegan because a life without cheese isn't worth it, in my opinion. I read reviews about Capella Cheese before making my first purchase and was not disappointed. This gruyere is the best I've ever had! It's the perfect balance of bold and delicate. It's definitely one for a true cheese connoisseur. I highly recommend it!
Outstanding flavor. Smooth and easily pairs with a variety of other foods and drinks.
The quality and freshness of Capella cheeses are excellent . Much better than what you can get in a grocery store.
