Thought it would be a good idea to re post this blog since I mentioned this wonderful cheese in my blog about the Meyer Lemon Tapenade
Vella Cheese is an old timer in the world of making great American cheeses. Tom Vella began making cheese in 1931 in the Sonoma Valley of California. The company is now run by his son, Ig Vella, and is famous for its Jack cheeses.
Jack cheese was created in the Gold Rush Days in Monterey, California by a Scotsman, named David Jacks.
This Special Select Jack has all the same characteristics as Vella's regular Dry Jack,
with its hard, pale yellow interior and sweet, nutty flavor. It is aged
for a full year (as opposed to seven months) to develop an even harder
texture and more intense flavor, making it similar to a Parmigiano Reggiano from Parma, Italy.
This cheese goes well with fruit and wine and is excellent
shaved over pasta. Made from cultured cow's milk. Suitable for vegetarians
Vella Cheese company has received numerous awards such as:
Environmental Award for Solar Panels
Lifetime Achievement Award from the esteemed
American Cheese Society in Portland, Or
