Pedrozo Farm Black Butte Reserve Raw Cow Cheese (1lb)

  • $16.00
  • In stock: 0

This is out of stock until June.

Black Butte Reserve, made only during spring when Pedrozo Farms grasses are green and lush. The intense flavors of the grasses influence the milk, which they then make into 20-pound wheels and age at least 6 months. This cheese won a gold medal for aged hard cheeses at the 2007 California State Fair.

The climate and locale specific to Pedrozo Farm’s cheesemaking is different than any other. The hot, dry summers and relatively mild winters of Northern California’s Sacramento Valley create a luscious, seasonal pasture for their cows to enjoy year-round. This is the secret to their cheese’s unique flavor and aroma that you just can’t find anywhere else.

Pedrozo Farm’s use only the raw milk from our grass-fed cows, which means they have complete control of the quality of our cheeses from start to finish. Their cows are hormone and antibiotic free, and have as much access to pasture as nature will allow. They age their cheeses on-site a minimum of 60 days, keeping careful watch over them daily.

Pedrozo Farm cheeses are considered “semi-firm,” with a hard, edible outer rind and a creamy, buttery texture inside. Their family of cheeses slice beautifully for snacking, entertaining or wine pairing; they’re also great for melting on sandwiches, soups, fondues or other hearty dishes. They all originate from an Old World-style base recipe.

Claravale orders must be placed by 8pm on Saturday, for delivery the following Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday.

You can either return Claravale bottles to stores that sell Claravale or return them to your drop location for a refund. In order to receive a refund from Real Food (Bay Area) please adhere to ALL the following steps:
- Wash out all bottles and lids thoroughly, making sure there is NO milk or cream left inside. (Note: we don’t want to attract bugs or animals to our host locations).
- Place the lid on each bottle and write your name clearly on it. This will be the only way that we can match your refund up to your bottles.
- Make sure bottles are not chipped, as we will not give refunds for bottles that cannot be reused.
- Only return bottles in multiples of six. This is to make my driver’s job in tallying the bottles as quick as possible. If you have fewer than six bottles please wait until you have accumulated six and then return them. If you have more than a multiple of six, please only return the full multiple of 6 (6,12,18, etc.), and return the rest when you have accumulated more.
- Place bottles into empty milk crates at your drop location.
- Sign in the number of bottles you have returned on the sign in sheet on the back of the sign out sheet.
- Bottle deposit returns will be credited to your account once a month during the first week of each month. If you have a standing order, the amount will be credited towards your next order. If you do not have a standing order, I will send you a code to enter into your next order for you to receive credit.
- You will be refunded $1.25 for each Claravale bottle returned. The 25c difference from the price of the deposit you paid is to cover the additional delivery/pickup and administrative costs associated with returning the bottles. This way the price of Claravale milk and cream ($4 and $9 respectively) will not need to be raised for everyone, but those of you who want to use our service to return bottles will be paying to cover the associated costs.
- Refunds are given at the discretion of Real Food (Bay Area).
