October calls for cheeses that feel a little extra. From rich triple creams to sweet-and-spicy goat cheese, these picks bring cozy fall energy to everything from Halloween spreads to early Friendsgiving gatherings.
Le Campagnier by Fromager d’Affinois
Fromager d’Affinois’ double cream Le Campagnier sports an orange washed rind and a mild, creamy flavor. Dressed in cheerful orange-and-white packaging, this French cheese is as festive as it is rich, making it a natural fit for Halloween gatherings and fall entertaining.
Le Cremeux A La Truffe D’ete by La Fromagerie Germain
Yes, it features summer truffles, but the fine black line running through its white center feels made for October. The earthy truffle funk pairs beautifully with the cozy, candlelit mood of the season, giving this elegant triple cream a little dark-and-mysterious edge.
Vermont Creamery Maple Chipotle Goat Cheese Logs
Sweet heat meets creamy goat cheese in Vermont Creamery’s Maple Chipotle log. Infused with Vermont maple syrup and finished with a light orange hue, it brings just enough kick to keep a fall cheese board interesting. Pair it with candied pecans for a sweet, crunchy contrast.
Rogue River Blue by Rogue Creamery
Released annually on the autumnal equinox, Rogue River Blue is an unmistakable taste of fall. Made with milk higher in butterfat than any other time of year and wrapped in grape leaves soaked in pear liquor, this luxurious blue brings deep, seasonal character to the board. Its dark forest-green rind also adds a little spooky woodland energy to an October spread.
