Developed in the early spring of 2007, Black & Blue is one of a handful of goat’s milk blue cheeses in the world. This cheese is a slighty sweet, delicious long-aged blue cheese that could appeal to all blue cheese fans. Black & Blue continues to be a favorite of chefs and for food-service applications.
Our cheese makers dry rub wheels of Black & Blue with kosher salt and carefully age them out for 10 days. The wheels are then pierced with stainless steel needles, and the blue begins to develop over the course of several months. We age Black & Blue for at least four months before shipping it to our partners.

Mountain Top is an artfully handcrafted surface-ripened blue and white mold pyramid. It ripens from its rind inward, growing softer and creamier as it is aged with precise detail. The cheese's fullest flavor is concentrated in its rind.

Created in the late summer of 2016, Cave Dweller is a universally appealing, longer aged cheese. This cheese is named for its long aging time—our stock of Cave Dweller is currently 24+ months old. Cave Dweller is a sharp, dense Italian style cheese and is perfect for high-end food service or retail.
Our cheese makers manufacture Cave Dweller in a similar fashion to cheddars and other Italian-style cheeses—the curd is cooked as its sets which results in a harder, denser cheese. As it ages, Cave Dweller gets sharper, sweeter and crystals begin to form. The flavor is reminiscent of a goat’s milk Asiago, and is one of the most popular cheeses in our Maryland retail store.

We created Cabrita in the style of a French Crottin de Chavignol in order to honor our handmade, artisan roots. Cabrita is made using our fresh Chevre, additional salt, and
Geotrichum Candidum mold. It is aged for at least 14 days, and through daily care and careful manipulation of the aging room Cabrita is able to develop its signature wrinkled rind. Cabrita was first made popular at various farmers markets in Maryland and DC, and is a FireFly fan-favorite.

A Spanish-style, semi-soft washed rind cheese—Cabra LaMancha. Every other day, our award-winning cheesemankers flip and wash wheels of Cabra LaMancha by hand using a brine comprised of water, salt and surface ripening agents. An earthy, vegetal, orange-colored rind develops as we age the wheels for 90 days. It has a semi-soft texture that heats and melts beautifully.

Merry Goat Round is one of FireFly Farms’s original aged cheeses, first launched in 2002. New in 2017, in honor of FireFly Farm’s 15th anniversary year, Spruce Reserve is wrapped in a natural spruce-wood strap and carefully aged until the cheese body is fully ripened, creamy, and spreadable.

Merry Goat Round is a soft ripened goat’s milk round. It is our homage to brie or Camembert, ripening its rind inward while growing softer and creamier. The rind is edible and is where the cheese’s fullest flavor is concentrated.
