Each piece of Foxglove is approximately 8 oz.

Fons Smits and Laura Davenport worked together for over ten years at small creameries around the US before they opened their own in 2014. At Tulip Tree Creamery, they not only focus on making great cheese, but also supporting local farmers who treat their cows well. They only use milk from farms that raise cows in accordance with Certified Humane standards. Basically, this means the cows have room to roam, are treated with care, and are fed healthy, fresh food. This way, the cheesemakers know the milk will be delicious, perfect for Foxglove and other Tulip Tree cheeses.

Fons, who oversees the production side of the business, focuses on European-style cheeses but adds his own twist. Foxglove is a double cream, washed rind cheese inspired by salty, earthy Italian Taleggio and strong French Epoisses. Thus, it is plush and funky, but the yeasty flavors from the beer wash and the sweet cream finish keep the flavors from being too intense.  Add a glass of your favorite porter (they use porter to wash Foxglove), and a slice of bread, and suddenly… the cheese is gone!
