Queso De Freir: a cheese made for frying

Craving something crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside? Try Queso De Freir—literally “frying cheese.” This Latin American favorite is firm and high-moisture, which means it won’t melt away when heated. It’s ideal for pan-frying or grilling and makes a delicious snack or side dish. Serve it with plantains, toss it into tacos, or add it to salads for a satisfying bite with rich, toasty flavor. Our cheesemongers can recommend just the right preparation and pairings. We’re proud to feature DeFreir cheese from Rockville Farmstead Dairy, one of our trusted local makers!

Artikaas First Milk Cheese: rich flavor from the season’s first milking

This is what spring tastes like in Holland! Artikaas First Milk Cheese is an exceptional seasonal Gouda made with milk collected after Dutch cows enjoy their first taste of spring’s tender grasses. That fresh, nutrient-rich milk is transformed into a smooth, creamy Gouda and aged for just 4 to 6 weeks to preserve its mild, buttery flavor. The result is a cheese that’s delicate, lush, and unmistakably tied to the season. Available for a limited time this summer in our specialty cheese department, it’s a must-try for Gouda lovers and anyone looking to savor something truly unique.

Beyond the artisan finds and specialty releases, Niemann Harvest Market carries a wide variety of everyday cheeses perfect for sandwiches, snacking, and family meals. Crowd-pleasing choices include sharp cheddars, creamy bries, shredded mozzarella, and sliced Swiss. You’ll find dependable favorites for every recipe and every occasion in our stores!
