Apricity Soft-Ripened Cheese

Apricity is a miniature lactic-set geotrichum-rind cheese made from the same high-quality grass-fed milk as all other cheeses at Alemar Cheese. The 4oz button of cheese is perfect for a single serving and while small, is a unique and full-flavored cheese. Think of the cheese like a white wine—flavorful, but light and easy on the palate. Apricity has a soft, fine texture that melts in your mouth with a delightful tang and flavors of fermented fruit and butter with floral notes and a mild barnyard funk that becomes more pronounced with age. The rind is very thin, flavor-packed, and blends in delightfully with the rest of the cheese—we really encourage people to eat it! "Apricity" is a word meaning "the warmth of the sun in winter," and while most Alemar cheeses feature a term relating to a place in Minnesota, the delicate nature of this cheese felt like it needed something still distinctly Minnesotan, but more light and poetic. The cheese pairs delightfully with light, fine, and crisp flavors like apples, ciders, white wines, and honey, and makes a lovely addition to any cheese board looking for a more easygoing first course before getting to the funkier blues and washed-rind cheeses. Alemar Cheese Company was started by Keith Adams in 2008 in Mankato, Minnesota and moved up to its new location in Food Building in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2019. Alemar specializes in soft-ripened, French-inspired cheeses. All Alemar cheeses are made by hand from local grass-fed cow's milk and use vegetarian rennet.
