JeffW has travelled the world judging cheese contests and vising plants. He loves classic Dutch
Gouda and made several vats in the spring of 2009.
JeffJ, also a fan of Gouda, offered his caves for ageing. Tradionally, Gouda in the U.S. is aged at refrigeraon temperatures. JeffJ decided to really push
the limits of this cheese and warm cave aged it for
nine months.
Along the way there were anxious moments as the
cheese adapted and grew. It wasn’t unl the cheese
was 7 months old that they really knew they had a
winner states JeffJ.

Peter’s Yard story began when founders, Ian
and Wendy set out to discover the best Swedish
bakeries and bring some of their favorite bread,
cakes and biscuits back to the UK. On their journey they visited Peter Ljungquist’s Swedish bakery, Peter’s Yard. There they drank coffee,
chaJed to Peter and enjoyed “fika”. They also
discovered the most delicious crispbread
(knäckebröd) they had ever eaten. It was simply
too good to remain confined to one small
bakery, so they decided to work with Peter and
another friend John, to make this authencally
Swedish, delicious crispbread available.
They use all natural, high quality ingredients to
produce an award winning sourdough crispbread
that is light in texture and subtle in flavor,
making it the perfect partner for cheese.
