Chocolate Lab

Chocolate Lab is a hard, pasteurized cow's milk cheese molded in a patterned basket. The cheese wheels are washed by hand every other day with a brine solution, giving the cheese an intense and pungent flavor along with a firm interior. When ready, the wheels are hand-rubbed with a mixture of sea salt and crushed cocoa nibs from French Broad Chocolates, creating a rich and rugged rind. Chocolate Lab pairs well with a Chocolate Stout beer or Malbec wine.
