Eden, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

This is an award winning cheese, earning "Best of Show", tied 3rd at the American Cheese Society's annual conference in 2014. It's also extremely delicious and I got to paint it and eat it!

"Made by Sprout Creek Farm, which is a 200 acre working farm located near Poughkeepsie, New York. Originally founded by two nuns from a religious order that focused on education and teaching, Sprout Creek Farm was established with a view to continuing this mission, which it undoubtedly does." - culture magazine

Eden is a beautiful washed rind cheese made from raw cow's milk. I loved the pillowy patterned rind and that incredibly addictive crystallized crunch that it offers to accompany the rich, fruity cheese flavor. It's really a treasure to have half a wheel sent to me!
