Despite its unappetizing name, Shabby Shoe is, of course, the American take on the famed French Chabichou. The wheels of this luxurious goat cheese are surrounded in a velvety wrinkled rind, encasing a silken paste within. Aged from 30 to 60 days, this chevre has bright notes of citrus flavor with a pronounced sweet finish. First place winner at 2023's ACS awards, this delicate cheese from Blakesville Creamery connects Wisconsin to the Loire Valley, perfectly recreating its iconic wrinkly rind, distinct creamline, and ethereal texture. Well-balanced and rich, a drizzle of honey is all it takes to make this cheese sing! Blakesville Creamery is a cheese producer situated on the shores of Lake Michigan in Port Washington, Wisconsin. Established in 2020, it hasn't taken long for this new enterprise to make waves within the American artisan cheese community. With Veronica Pedraza at the helm, her love of cheesemaking and beer have united to produce a delicious array of unique wheels. From recreating classic favorites like her Shabby Shoe to inventing new beer-washed creations, each addition to her lineup adds another layer of delicious depth to Blakesville's already sterling assortment of cheese.
