Hooper's color evolution
Our newest soft-ripened cheese, Hooper, is as dynamic as the landscape it’s crafted in. Hooper is alive, evolving with each day, and telling its own story through color, texture and flavor. One of the most alluring aspects of Hooper is the color variation of its unique, wrinkled rind.
What color should you expect from Hooper’s rind, and when? It really depends on so many variables, so, let’s dig into the process that leads to Hooper’s quirky color development.
why do our CHEESES HAVE WRINKLES?
Our aged cheeses are soft mold-ripened and have a geotrichum rind. Geotrichum Candidum is the strain of culture we use in our cheesemaking process that allows the growth of the distinctive "brain-like" wrinkles.
