But we had passed Cheese Central the other day, and it was open till 6. I asked the ladies behind the counter if they did sandwiches, which they didn't. But I noticed they had a display of sausages and pates. Suddenly Riley appeared. He asked me what sort of thing I was looking for. Within a minute I had two petite Molinari fennel salamis, a wedge of smoked Gouda, and a half LaBrea baguette. He rang me up, gave me napkins and knives, and I was on my way. Everything was delicious.

So, we turned around and then, even though looking for it now, we passed it again. This time, after turning around once more, we saw it in time to turn into the driveway. -- They need a more visible sign... Outside, there is a picnic area by a pond and covered porch. There are picnic tables to eat what you will purchase in the store. Inside there is a store with cheese for sale, along with samples so that you can taste the cheese. There are many varieties that are made here. Most are forms of Gouda (pronounced khow-da (with a guttural H sound as the first syllable)). We really enjoyed the Gouda with Fenugreek ($8.47 for a wedge). They can also make a grilled cheese sandwich ($4.50) and a cup of soup ($4.00). We got several kinds of their delicious cheese and consumed it over the next many days of our trip. We live in Los Gatos and were delighted to learn that they sell their cheese at the Sunday Farmers' Market in Mountain View. So after returning home, we phoned them a few days before a Sunday with our order to pick up at the Mountain View Farmers' Market . The advance order is advisable since at the market it is first-come-first-served and you favorites may sell out before you get to their booth. When we got to the Farmers' Market around noon and picked up our order, we were told that it was good that we pre-ordered since several of the cheeses we ordered were already sold out (except for our reserved order).

Unfortunately, I didn't have my lactaid pills so didn't try any cheese. They have a great selection of food items, perfect for gift giving and picnics. When we return and actually try their cheese, I'll update my review. The cashier was friendly and welcoming and giggled when she heard me say I shouldn't eat cheese at that moment.

Not only did she make great recommendations on cheeses but was also nice enough to cut them into cubes for us. We were staying at the Inn and did not have a knife or cheese board with us. We went back to the room, started up the fireplace and had a makeshift charcuterie tray with a nice bottle of wine for lunch.

I appreciated that samples were available upon request, though the shop wasn't really set up to encourage sampling, and the staff seemed quite busy when I visited. Other cheese shops I have been to have a more welcoming sampling experience. There were also crackers, spreads, chocolate and teas available for sale. I was interested in one of the chocolate and mint teas, and was going to purchase, but it was $15, so a little steep in price for me. I did some crackers and two types of cheese. Haven't tried them yet, but looking forward to giving them a taste.

He said "No, there's actually Beer IN the cheese!" "No way," I thought. "WAY," he said, grinning. That was our introduction to Fiscalini Farmstead, a dairy and Cheese maker Par Excellence, here in California's Central Valley. Needless to say, on future shopping escapades, we sought out the "Beer cheese," when one sad day, they were OUT! [Sad face]. I found their website and proceeded to promptly order their 'Everything but the kitchen sink" variety pack, adding an extra Craft Beer Cheddar for good measure. We're about through that assortment and, wow! This is some excellent cheese. The Farmhouse Cheddar we started sampling first, is good, but the San Joaquin Gold and Aged Cheddar were great!. We also enjoyed the Purple Moon and Habanero Cheddar, and to a lesser degree the Balsamic & Onion and Truffle Cheddars.
