UP NORTH Applewood Cold Smoked Ricotta

Applewood Smoked Ricotta
A Signature Cheese by Crooked Face Creamery

Cold-smoked over organic, locally sourced applewood and made with rich whole milk from registered Jersey cows, this ricotta is fresh and light, yet deeply creamy and flavorful. Seasoned with just a touch of salt, it carries a warm, savory smokiness that’s both comforting and unforgettable.

Here’s how I like to describe it:
"I call this cheese 'Up North' because of the feeling it brings me — like sitting around a campfire at Moosehead Lake, laughing with family under the stars. One bite, and I’m transported back to those golden moments, the smoky aroma filling the air and my heart. It’s a truly original cheese you won’t find anywhere else."

Designed to be savored by the spoonful or on a board, but just as incredible spread over fresh bread, tossed with greens, melted onto wood-fired pizza, or stirred into your favorite pasta. Drizzle with a little olive oil, or add a touch of Sriracha for a spicy kick that will send your taste buds soaring.
