Artisan cheese made in small batches by independent creameries, many of them farmstead operations that milk their own herds. The range runs from aged cheddar and gouda to alpine-style wheels, smoked and flavored cheeses, fresh cheese and ready-to-gift assortments from makers such as Smith's Country Cheese and Cheese Brothers.
