Draft:Sakatah cheese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sakatah cheese is a soft ripened, artisan cheese, made with pasteurized cow milk that is aged in grape or chestnut leaves that are pickled in apple brandy.[1][2] The most cheese is very salty, and has a spicy, peppery taste, with a funky finish.[3] It is milder than Bent River, a type of Camembert.[4] The cheese is produced in Northeast Minneapolis, a city located in the U.S. State of Minnesota. The cheese is available seasonally during Fall and Winter.[5] Both the grape leaves and the pasteurized milk are sourced from local farms located around Minnesota. The grape leaves must also come from the marquette grape vine, which was bred at the University of Minnesota.[6] The cheese was named after Sakatah Lake state park.[7]
