Soft, glowing, and impossibly creamy — Moonrise is Perrystead Dairy's ode to the quiet magic of a Philadelphia evening. This bloomy-rind cow's milk cheese has a pillowy, cloud-like texture that gives way to a rich, buttery paste with notes of cultured cream, fresh mushroom, and a whisper of earthiness. It's the cheese you reach for when the moment calls for something truly special. The Story Born in the heart of Philadelphia, Perrystead Dairy is the city's pioneering urban creamery — a place where old-world European cheesemaking traditions meet the creative energy of a modern American city. Founder Yolanda Acree sources milk from local, grass-fed Pennsylvania cows and crafts each wheel with meticulous care and sustainable intention. Moonrise is the quiet star of their lineup: understated, elegant, and deeply satisfying. Tasting Notes Cultured cream · Fresh mushroom · Buttery paste · Delicate bloomy rind · Soft, lingering finish Pairing Suggestions Pair with a glass of Champagne, Chenin Blanc, or a light Pinot Noir. Serve with fig jam, toasted walnuts, and sliced pear for a board that practically builds itself. Equally stunning melted over warm crostini.
