Pleasant Ridge Reserve
Aged for a year on the farm, our wheels are hand selected by the cheesemaker Andy Hatch. This cheese is named after the land formation on which Uplands Cheese farm sits. Pleasant Ridge Reserve is made in the tradition of Alpine cheeses like Gruyere and Beaufort. Like the Alpage versions of these cheeses, the cheesemakers only make Pleasant Ridge Reserve from May through October when the cows are eating fresh pasture. This grass-fed, raw milk produces flavors in the cheese that can’t be replicate.
In mid-summer, when the cows are at the peak of their production, a batch of cheese may yield up to 78, 10-lb wheels a day. Because Uplands is very particular about using milk from only the best pasture conditions, the weather largely determines how many batches they can make in a year. When the pasture conditions aren’t ideal, they sell the milk. Some years they're able to make more cheese than other years. This may seem like a luxury, but using only the ideal milk ensures the quality of cheese they are famous for.

Let customers speak for us
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.
Just the right combination of zesty citrus and herbs to add to any dish. It brightened my roasted chicken and was great with my sautéed chicken!
Nice variety of world class cheese. Quite expensive, but there is no question regarding the quality. Nicely packaged and delivered promptly!
I'm a huge mimolette fan, and this one is perfectly aged, with delicious flavors. Combined with Capella's plain crackers is perfection!
I have grown tired of boring store bought cheeses, but no longer!
My first order of Capella arrived perfectly packaged, still very cold.
My first bite of some real Cheddar was so satisfying that I nearly ate the whole block I had bought. Finally, after years of dried out flavorless parmigiana, our pasta dishes taste so much better with the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. I am already thinking about what to order next.
This was my third time ordering from Capella. Sent a selection of cheeses, salami, crackers and jam as a thank you gift to our friends. Well, it was a hit again. They love it and I knew they would. I placed the order on a Monday morning, and by Wednesday afternoon it was delivered. It won’t be the last time I order. Thank you, Capella!
I made a mistake on my earlier review by hitting the wrong circle. SOVRANA di BUFALS is definitely 5 STAR!! It’s a great eating cheese with a softer taste and a similar texture to Cravero Parmesan. Try it…you won’t regret it. And as I said in the earlier review- it’s a great source of Calium which we all need and I can't think of a better tasting one.
Have not tried yet. Order process quick, description of product made the sale. Received in a timely manner. Shipping cost too much.
Very robust and full flavored. Goes great on baked zucchini, chicken pharm and my home made pizza.
