In 1925, Dorothy Demeter’s father Fred launched the company that would eventually come to be known as Dorothy’s Creamery. Dorothy worked in the Lena, IL plant, and as she grew to become a cheesemaking pioneer in her own right, she was known to work tirelessly or, as they say, until the cows came home, perfecting her soft-ripened cheeses. One such soft ripened cheese with a velvety mouthfeel, slightly sweet, buttery flavor and earthy aroma, Dorothy’s Comeback Cow can be identified by its characteristic bloomy orange rind and its unique shape. Each wheel of Dorothy’s Comeback Cow is molded into the shape of a flower, a nod to the wild grasses and flowers the cows feed on to produce the flavorful milk that goes into this silky Soft Ripened Cheese—milk which is also rBST-free! There’s no denying that a cheese of this particular pedigree is a standout option on a cheese board, with TJ’s Truffle Marcona Almonds, tangy Cornichons, and a glass of Cabernet. It’s equally excellent in a panini with thinly sliced green apple, a handful of peppery arugula, and a crisp glass of La Burgondie Cremant de Bourgogne. Or you could bake it in the oven, drizzle generously with Mostly Mesquite Honey,and dip with crisp crackers until the cows come home...
