**Cheese Share Members will receive Halloumi cheese from River View Dairy. Halloumi is a brined cheese made from a mixture of sheep and goat’s milk. Because of the way Halloumi is made it has a very high melting point and can be sauteed, fried or grilled. Please remember to take CSA cheese only if you’ve signed up for a cheese share and find a piece with your name on it.
