Nightshade is a long-aged cheese inspired by Fons' favorite, Old Amsterdam. This washed-curd cheese is rich and full-flavored, with a hint of sharpness balanced by deep caramel undertones. Its smooth, firm texture develops beautifully over time, aging for at least 7 months—sometimes over 12—to achieve a complex, lingering finish. Perfect for savoring on its own or pairing with bold accompaniments, Nightshade is a true delight for lovers of aged cheese.
