That community effort grew into a cheesemaking business combining traditional styles with imaginative flavour combinations. Head Cheesemaker Rick Woods has been involved since the beginning, while president and fifth-generation dairyman Kent Underwood brings extensive experience in dairy farming and creamery operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the cheese to lose its refrigerator chill before serving with sourdough bread and fresh or dried figs. Pair with a dark beer for complementary roasted flavours, a hoppy ale for contrast or ginger beer for an alcohol-free accompaniment. Melt over a burger, layer into an egg sandwich or add to a grilled cheese with sliced apple.
