Dense and rich like cheesecake, Nettle Meadows’ Three Sisters is a soft cheese to wow on a board. What sets it apart is the three milks used to make it—a perfect balance of cow, goat, and sheep. Mild and buttery at first, with a slight tang and bit of sweetness that grows as you enjoy it, plus some button mushroom notes at the rind. Take your spread somewhere savory with Charlito’s Cocina Chorizo, or lean into the cheesecake vibes with V Smiley Strawberry Italian Plum Jam.
- The animals at Nettle Meadow graze on fresh grasses and wild herbs at the farm in Upstate New York, resulting in flavorful milk that’s perfect for cheesemaking.
- For Three Sisters, cow’s milk is combined with sheep’s milk (which brings extra richness) and goat’s milk (which contributes a slight tang).
- Three Sisters is a bloomy rind cheese, named for the white mold that “blooms” on the rind, which is responsible for breaking down the interior and creating its silky texture.
- Founded in 1990 by Lorraine Lambiase and Shelia Flanagan, New York’s Nettle Meadow farm is also an animal sanctuary that houses a menagerie of llamas, horses, donkeys, chickens, ducks, pigs, turkeys, cats, and rabbits.
- Lorraine and Sheila both left legal careers to move closer to home and realize their dream of living on a farm, surrounded by animals.
- Cheesemaker Sheila Flanagan transforms the farm's fresh goat and sheep milk to craft innovative, artisan cheeses.
- Sheep and goats are fed a diet of natural ingredients, including grasses, hay, grains, wild herbs, raspberry leaf, and garlic to balance their nutritional needs.
- A herd of working goats roams over 100 acres at a separate pasture close to Amsterdam, New York.
- The animals are at the heart of the operation, their website features the pictures and names of many of their goats along with a description of their personalities.
