Joel Kessler, the Cheeseman, has returned!
We can once again order our delicious Kosher Gouda cheese from the Netherlands. This year I have made things simpler. We have four cheeses to offer: Young (~10 lb/wheel), Mature (~9 lb/wheel), Aged (~9 lb/wheel), and a new cheese, Mimolette (~10 lb/wheel), which I have been told is similar to Parmesan. Orders can either be a whole wheel for $120, a half wheel for $60.00, a quarter wheel for $30.00, or an eighth of a wheel for $15.00. The approximate cost is $12.00-$13.33 per pound INCLUDING shipping. Orders must be in by August 10th, and I would ask that all orders be accompanied by full payment. You can either send me a check or you can send payment using Zelle, Venmo, or Paypal. If you have any questions, you can email me at jkessler48@comcast.net, send me a WhatsApp, or call me at 570-651-0983. Please note that if there are any excess proceeds, they will be donated to the synagogue.
