Topped with CA Bay Laurel leaves, Quinta is a soft-ripened, bloomy rind cheese, inspired by the very famous, seasonally-made Vacherin Mont d’Or and its close variation L’Edel de Cléron, both from the Jura mountain region along the French-Swiss border. Quinta is a small round, about 4” in diameter, weighing about 10oz. The interior texture is silky-smooth and the rind is fluffy, yet slightly firm with a Bay leaf embedded on the top. Quinta is meant to be enjoyed at room temperature in a single sitting by removing a portion of the top rind and digging in with a small spoon or cheese spreader.
