"Bica" loosely translated means "bag". And that is exactly what this cheese looks like. When the curd is fresh, it is placed in a cheese cloth and twisted up into a "bag". As the cheese firms up, the cloth is removed, but its imprint remains, giving rise to its name. A farmhouse cheese made from a blend of pasteurized goat (70%), cow (20%) and sheep's (10%) milk, coagulated with animal rennet. Bica cheese has a distinctive yet mild, buttery flavor with goaty notes and a satiny texture. The red crust is given by an emulsion of sweet red pepper and wine that is brushed on the cheese.

This cheese is amazing. The flavor is creamy, sweet, savory, nutty all at the same time. This is going to be my "go to" cheese. It's hard to stop eating it. Needs to be taken out of frig an hour before using to get the full amazing flavor. Will definitely buy again.
We like the great variety of great European cheeses and we have been a fan of Abbaye de Belloc cheese for many years. Elegant and smooth. Shipment was fast and packaging was safe. Products arrived as expected.
It came in two days and was packed in ice so still cold. I live in Florida so it’s been record setting HOT. They did a great job packing the cheese. Thank you
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!
