This was a selection of 5 different ages of Comte cheese which we first tasted in Strasbourg, France. It was fun to taste the differences along with a glass of wine!
I love Capella and the cheeses. Best service and it feels like a community. Going in or ordering online are both great options!
This is the perfect complement to a robust Italian red like a Brunello di Montalcino. Great richness, earthy like a cured black olive and faintly grassy.
Last week I placed an order of cheeses, crackers, sausage, and Jelly. It was sent to our friends as a special gift. I was surprised and disappointed when Capella sent me an e-mail stating I would be getting a refund for crackers. I wish I would have known Capella didn’t have the crackers before I placed the order.
With so many different cheeses available this is a great way to taste and learn about varieties that we don’t see on our menu every day. With such expert selection this is a great way to taste some of the more unusual varieties and share them with family and friends.
Excellent overall. nice nutty/sweet/salty taste. tastes rich and creamy with a savory finish.
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!
