Theis milky-sweet bloomy-rind cheese hails from rural Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and is distributed by Farm Fromage, a company launched by Howard Field that aims to boost the local dairy industry. Being somewhat isolated by their location and the prevalent Amish lifestyle, dairy distribution in the region was limited until Field stepped in. The entrepreneur endeavors to promote small, local producers of raw milk and cheese, selling their products to specialty shops and dining establishments in major cities. Without having a shopfront and conducting most of its business online, Farm Fromage has grown from just two farms and one cheesemaker to over 15 farms and six cheesemakers, plus a range of 30 cheeses.
Angela's Pillow is a mold-ripened disk that develops a white fuzzy rind of Penicillium candidum mold while aging. Field likens it to a double-cream camembert.
