Beekman 1802 Blaak is a seasonal cheese and is available in limited quantities from July-January. Please click "Notify Me" on the right of your screen to be added to the wait list for this year's wheels. Beekman 1802 Blaak is the world-famous artisanal cheese produced from the goats at Beekman Farm. Blaak is an Italian-style semi-hard cheese made from a 60:40 mix of raw goat and cow milk giving the cheese a mild but distinctive flavor. In keeping with traditional cheesemaking practices, this rare cheese is aged for 3 months in our caves and is coated with ash at each turning to promote the ripening of the wheel. The resulting edible black rind gives the cheese its name and makes it a true conversation piece on your table. 

In order to ensure that you receive your artisanal cheese at its peak, we sell only whole wheels. Because each artisanal wheel is hand-crafted, there is a natural variation in size and shape.  Each wheel is approximately 2 lbs, perfect for dividing up and sharing.
