Donna Demchur Levitsky of West Chester’s Shellbark Hollow Farm regularly mans her cheesy station Saturdays at Phoenixville’s Farmers’ Market. Having the pleasure to encounter her whole goat milk cheese blends, I was incredibly impressed with the idea of her honey chevre spread, as she suggested it paired perfectly with Asian pears.
Promoting a wild assortment of spreadable cheese smears, in addition to gorgeously jarred marinated chevres, a glorified stop at these freshly-aged offerings is well worth your market trip.
But, if your Saturday mornings tend to be jam-packed, local chefs and mongers for the past several years have additionally spouted the brilliance of this locally-produced cheese, including Meritage, Nectar, Di Bruno Bros., Kimberton Whole Foods and Talula’s Table.
Another pairing tip: The honey chevre generously-smeared on a slice of Saint Peter’s Bakery’s whole grain apple walnut bread is incredibly addicting.
