Herbsen Rock:
an Alpine Style Cheese
Crafted with care at Cinnamon Ridge Farm, Herbsen Rock is our tribute to the timeless alpine cheeses of Europe—reimagined with the rich, rolling terroir of Iowa. Made from pasteurized cow’s milk and aged for six months in our cave, this artisan cheese embodies a distinctive harmony of flavor and tradition.
Herbsen Rock delivers a nutty richness reminiscent of roasted hazelnuts, balanced by grassy, fresh notes that evoke a summer evening in the countryside. Its savory-sweet profile makes it a perfect pairing for light beers, fruity wines, and sweet spirits.
Whether you’re entertaining guests or elevating your everyday cheese board, Herbsen Rock offers a taste of something truly special—crafted with pride, aged with patience, and shared with love.
The cheese is wiped down multiple times a week to create the flavor unique to this cheese.
Cinnamon Ridge Select
Bierkase Style Cheese
Inspired by traditional German Bierkäse and enriched by the character of the Iowa heartland, Cinnamon Ridge Select is a bold, semi-soft cheese crafted with care at Cinnamon Ridge Farm. Made from pasteurized cow’s milk and aged for three months in our cave, this smear-ripened cheese delivers an unforgettable tasting experience.
Cinnamon Ridge Select features a smooth, creamy texture, a distinct golden rind, and a robust aroma that reflects its heritage. The flavor is full-bodied, salty, and tangy, making it a natural companion to cold beer—whether served on the side or dipped straight in. It also pairs beautifully with hearty breads like rye or pumpernickel and sliced onions, or with a glass of wine for a bold contrast.
A celebration of bold flavor and artisan tradition, Cinnamon Ridge Select is cheese with personality—crafted for those who appreciate the distinctive and the delicious.
