From our first bite of this cheese, we were hooked. It has a complexity of taste, never before experienced. That initial reaction was at a fine dining restaurant in Virginia. When I gushed to the waiter, I was thrilled to find out it was a Georgia product. That made the cheese taste even better, if that was possible. Thanks for creating such a delicious product. It has inspired us to drive five hours down to Thomasville from Jasper to visit Capella Cheese in person. Now that's commitment!
Very good, strong cheddar flavor which is delicious. I am used to less expensive cheese but this is very high quality and tastes great!
This cheese has a well balanced amount of salt, and exquisite taste. Perfect to pair with wine or just slice it to enjoy as a flavorful snack.
In today's world where so much is mediocre, high priced, and without good service, Capella Cheese stands out! Their cheeses are well chosen, very flavorful, and their packing and shipping is wonderful. I look forward to trying many more of their cheeses and crackers over the years!
The Ossau Fermier is wonderful and has a kind of toasted nut, lightly gamey, with grassy notes. Firm and rich.
The cheese is delicious! It was wrapped very well and the freezer packs were still cold on delivery. You can't ever go wrong with Rogue River Blue. Such a phenomenal blue and so glad you carry it.
The cheese I received was fresher than the cheese I got from Costco and I didn't have to travel to get it I will be getting my specialty cheeses from you for now on Thanks
My wife literally said, "this is the best cheese I've ever had in my life." We used to frequent a cheese shop when we lived up North and had a lot of different cheeses over the years but since we moved down to Georgia, we hadn't found a place for good cheese. For my birthday we found Capella and they shipped, so I bought the Smokey Blue, the 1-year cheddar, the compte, the rocket robiola and the gruyere and they were all amazing, but the smokey blue took the cake. It was rich, flavorful and melted in your mouth. Definitely purchasing again!
Rogue River Blue does not disappoint ! Excellent flavor and quality. Thanks Capella Cheese.
Without a doubt the Abbey de Belloc is absolutely a magnificent cheese. Treat yourself and your guests to one of the best cheeses in the world. Raymond and Capella Cheese are a national treasure.
