Alemar Apricity

Item #: 991

Apricity—meaning “the warmth of the winter sun”—is Alemar’s newest cheese!

Small but mighty at only four ounces, Apricity is a fluffy, light, and delicate geo-rind lactic-set cheese, made from the same grass-fed cow’s milk. Think of it like a champagne in cheese form—light, airy, and crisp, but full of flavor and warmth. The buttery and tangy body of the cheese gives way to notes of tahini and fermented fruit. As it ages, the spreadable, fudgy texture of the cheese grows ever so slightly denser and develops a lovely cream line with a balanced barnyardy funk. The rind of the cheese is delicate and full of flavor, like a delightful little apple, and we encourage everyone to eat it!. Unlike many soft-ripened cheeses, Apricity has no particular “ideal age” to eat it at. We find that both Apricity fresh out of the ripening room and a couple months old have their own unique character.

Apricity is perfectly suited to occupy the most difficult spot on a cheese board—the first cheese. Complex and unique, but not heavy on the palate. Apricity is delightful when paired with white wines, ciders, honey, crisp or sour beers, and milder fruits like green grapes, mangoes, and apples.

Each cheese is hand-portioned and formed! Embrace the differences in shape between batches—they’re a sign that the cheese is truly hand-crafted!
