In June, we feature our Siletz River Drums: compact and full of flavor. These tasty cheeses are made with fresh pasteurized goat's milk and get their creamy consistency from the delicate cultured curd we ladle by hand into each individual traditional French cheese mold. Lightly salted and ripened over several weeks, these cheeses gradually develop a soft and silky texture within their rinds. |

When young, our Siletz River Drums are easily sliced into wedges or rounds, and have a smooth consistency and slightly tangy flavor. Enjoy the first days of summer with this picnic lunch: - a selection of sliced cured meats (try finocchiona, a Tuscan salami with fennel seeds, or a thin-sliced artisanal ham) - several young Siletz River Drums - fresh seasonal fruits (enjoy the last of the strawberries!) - a salad of the first young zucchini, marinated in lemon juice and olive oil with lots of cracked black pepper and coarse salt - a good, hearty bread |

hand-pack our cheeses,
