Looking for a crowd pleaser for your next big shindig? Try this gold-medalist! Cherry Grove Farm's Herdsman is a rustic, natural-rind tomme with a crumbly texture and pleasant acidity. Recently awarded a gold medal at the World Cheese Awards, Herdsman is mild-mannered enough for wide appeal, but it still has that raw-milk farmstead intrigue to please serious cheese lovers. Herdsman 
 
Try it shaved over grilled asparagus, in an arugula salad, or melted into mac and cheese. On the cheeseboard, Herdsman is a friend to grainy mustard, honey, berry jam, citrus marmalade, rye bread/crackers, pickles, fresh berries, and peaches.
 
Pairing: Goes well with a Tequila, Riesling, Gruner Veltliner, IPA, or farmhouse ale, lemonade, limeade, green tea, berry-flavored drinks.
