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.

We received our first Classic Cheese of the Month box. Everything was delicious !! Thank you.
10 year is the best! It goes with sandwiches and bread in the morning. Absolutely love and have bought over and over.
Very good taste and arrived as promised
Totally enjoyed the manchego as well as the other cheeses we ordered. Full distinct
Flavor . Well packaged and arrived on time
A very flavorful and yes, beautiful, cheese. Happy with it and with the other cheeses I’ve just purchased from Capella. Will buy again!
We loved the Gruyere AOP. This cheese is full of flavor. It is an excellent cheese to serve as part of a cheese board offering.
First time I tried this cheese was as part of a Cheese Club delivery and I got hooked, and have ordered this at least 2 times more since then.
The salty nand tangy cheese matches perfectly with the sweetness of the grapes - it's a whole cheese board in itself!
Dedinitely.oke of the best cheeses that I've ordered from Capella!
This is, quite possibly, my favorite cheese in the world - and I had some trepidation about how switching to pasteurized milk and the aged monks being replaced by apprentices would effect the product.
I am happy to say that my palate did not discern any drop off in quality or flavor. It must be the grazing of the sheep and the biome of the aging cellars that make this cheese so special.
Will certainly purchase again and again. Pair it with very good Pinot Noir
Excellent, as usual!
Thank you, Raymond, for making this possible.
Always outstanding and excellent for the keto or carnivore diet! I cannot get enough!!
I just got a pound of this parmesan and it is out of this world good! Get you some!
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
