Conceived on a lark with a surplus of milk during the holiday season of 2014, Abruzze Jawn (South Philly for “the spicy one”) went on to become an American Cheese Society winner just six months later!
That fateful December, the cheesemaking team decided to anoint the curd with a smattering of spices sourced from a South Philly corner store adjacent to our cheesemaker’s commute. The result was incomparable flavor, and thus the Jawn was born!
A pungent allium aroma and our secret pepper blend may have you thinking you’ve wandered into your favorite purveyor of Italian salamis in South Philly. This cheese beats the pants off supermarket pepper jack!
We only make this gem about six times a year, so make sure to grab it when you see it.

Storage
Store wrapped in cheese paper in a humid part of your refrigerator, such as the crisper drawer, for about 2 weeks. Mold growth is natural and safe, but you can scrape it off with a knife if it bothers you.
