St. Pete's Select super premium blue cheese is the July cheese feature at all Lunds and Byerly's stores in Minnesota. Save $4 per pound off their regular price.
"Summertime Blues" is now available. St. Pete's Select blue cheese bathed in Summit Horizon Red Ale. See for yourself how the beer renders a different color and flavor when infused into the cheese. When Summertime runs out, the next up in The Blues and Brews Series will be the Oktoberfest Blau; a party in every wheel and wedge. ![]()
Coming soon to the marketplace: Jeff's Select Gouda. Two different cheesemakers with a shared first name got together as friends and discussed how to make a great cheese even better. And that they did: Jeff Wideman of Maple Leaf in Wisconsin and Jeff Jirik of Caves of Faribault in Minnesota are self-described as "Cheesemakers Without Borders." Jeff Wideman makes the gouda and Jeff Jirik finishes it. This cheese is limited availability and it is definitely worth contacting us to find out where to get it once it's released. info@cavesoffaribault.com
