We think this cheese was made for flowery honeys--from orange blossom to lavender, clover, and acacia. Light citrusy, white wines like Vouvray, unoaked Chardonnay, and sparkling Blanc de Blanc are a lovely match. Most interesting we think, are the possible pairings with tea, tisanes, and light gin cocktails.

On my third visit to Capella, I placed an order for several 1 lb blocks of some new-found favorites. The Vielle Mimolette is one of those: a firm cheese, very subtle in the mouth, reminiscent of a Dry Jack with a beautiful orange-the-fruit orange color. Worked well a chardonnay, and almost as well with a robust Zinfandel. I'd nibble it, rather that putting it with bread or wafer.
It does not get any better than this……
I have served it on little pieces of bread any guest have asked me what type of cheese it is!!!
Amazing on waffles!!!!!
Amazing everyday we have used it!!!!
To also make things great was how it was packed perfect delivery…..
Perfect service!
Thank you…..
Super easy to order and give as gifts for anyone that is a cheese lover.
Fantastic cheese. It is cold-smoked with other hints of honey, apple, nectarine and the bite of the blue. It results in a delicious mixture of a smoked, spicy and sweet fusion. Highly recommended. Very good with Cabernet
Delicious cheese, olive oil and designer charcuterie boards! Knowledgeable & friendly staff!
Got three cheeses, fig spread, and a cool cheese tasting journal, along with pairing notes. Packed well with an ice box.
I have been receiving shipments of cheese for the last several months and have enjoyed this immensely. The selections are always interesting, things I have not tried before and delicious. I've shared with my friends and family all of whom have enjoyed. Tonight we're hosting a dinner party and featuring the January selection on a charcuterie board. We enjoy the suggestions for wine pairings and the description of each of the cheeses each month. Thanks for a great product and service!
We have participated in several cheese of the month clubs. Capella Cheese of the month club is by far the best we have tried. The tasting notes provided and the attention to detail with respect to timely shipping, the tasting journal given and the wine suggestions put Capella Cheese Club way above the rest. Truly outstanding!
Great
Gave the husband Cheese of the Month club for Christmas, after listening to him bellyache how bland and tasteless grocery store offerings have been lately. We just got our first shipment. Divine! Oh my gosh, even with as sweet a tooth as I possess, I’d much rather be gomping down on these tasty, delicious pieces of heaven, with a dab of the fig spread they sent, than any sweet I can think off. Rich, savory, satisfying. I was a little hesitant because of the price, but the quality and enjoyment are well worth it. Looking forward to future monthly selections!
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!!
