Sequatchie Dancing Fern Cheese

Named for the native ferns that sway and nod at the breezy mouth of a cave in Coppinger Cove where the creamery is located, Dancing Fern is inspired by the famous raw milk Reblochon cheese of the Savoie in France. 


Tasting notes: A soft and supple texture and barn-yardy aroma, along with notes of cultured butter, shiitake mushroom, and walnuts make it a stand out on the cheese plate.

Pairs nicely with: Pinot Noir, Chignin Blanc, Trappist ales, French farmhouse ciders, marmalades and preserves (in particular grapefruit), dark chocolate, and fresh in-season peaches. Works wonderfully in a classic Tartiflette recipe.

Item of the Day: Mont St. Francis Goat Cheese from Capriole Farm

By | Cheese, Chef's Feed, Item of the Day, Local, Local and Specialty, What Chefs Want

Mont St. Francis Goat Cheese

Mont St. Francis was named for a nearby Franciscan retreat and was first made in 1994 when there were few American washed-rind cheeses. Cheeses like the rustic, stinky Mont originated in monasteries across Europe and were traditionally washed in brine or beer. Capriole finishes theirs in Monnik Beer Company’s His Dark Materials stout to enrich its funky, pungent flavor with a sweet, smoky finish. They are “texture-proud” at Capriole, and the semi-firm, extra fine texture of this cheese is perfectly matched to its hearty flavor and beefy nose.

Item of the Day: Wixter Chilean Seabass

By | Chef's Feed, Item of the Day, Seafood, What Chefs Want

Wixter Chilean Seabass

Each 12 oz. package contains two individually-sealed, 6 ounce portions of raw, frozen, skinless and boneless Chilean Sea Bass. 


Did you know that before 1977 Chilean Seabass was known as Patagonian Toothfish? Marketers changed the name to make it more appealing, and gourmands learned that this white, flaky Codfish is delicious no matter what it’s called. Because of its high oil content, Chilean Seabass is versatile in the kitchen and remains one of the healthiest options for seafood. Wixter’s Chilean Seabass is exclusively sourced from producers that meet the highest international sustainability standards. This is extremely important for preserving wild stock of this deep-sea delicacy, which is caught along the continental shelves in the southern oceans.
