Boxcarr Handmade Lissome Cheese

Lissome is a big, beefy beer-laden semi-soft cow milk cheese taking inspiration from the funky Italian Taleggio. Lissome is washed for weeks in a Piedmontese beer and brine solution which promotes the bright orange rind. This creates a malty, rich creamy bite. Cheesemonger's Note: Lissome's rind is pinkish orange, sometimes sticky, pungent, and may be dappled with white mold. 

$14.98
Coming to you from North Carolina's cheese trail is Boxcarr Handmade Cheese's Lissome. Modeled after Taleggio, this is a washed-rind square with a creamy interior and a funky rind. Each “wheel” is made with local cow's milk before experiencing a beer and brine rinse during maturation. This washing process cultivates the pink sticky rind, which adds a meaty flavor to the supple cheese inside. Not too strong but surely flavorful, this is a good cheese for most palates. This is a lovely cheese to pair with beer or a nice glass of wine, and a divine melter. Try on homemade pizza or on an elevated grilled cheese.
