"Available only during the holidays, Uplands
Cheese Rush Creek Reserve Cheese is soft and
luxuriant. Warm, peel back the top rind, grab
a spoon, veggies, or some crusty bread and
pop a bottle of bubbly. This is cheese bliss!"
—Steve Haman, Babcock & Miles, Red Lodge, MT
"Use Pickled Pink Gourmet Jalapeño Pickles as
an accompaniment on a charcuterie board to
liven up the flavors. They can also be used to
make Jalapeño Pickle Salmon
Rounds by blending salmon
with cream cheese, lemon, and
dill and topping with a pickle."
