For my mother's seventieth. She took the rind home to put in soup, which I think was a compliment.

Six cheeses in the cave, all of them cut this week. Tap a row to put one on the board or take it off.
What comes
with it.
A board is a box, not a plate. It travels, it keeps, and it comes with the words to explain it to the table.
- In the box
- Cheese paper, a label for each one, a card naming every cheese and what to eat it with, and a cold pack under the lot.
- It travels
- Two hours in a car, four in a cool bag. Leave it in the box until you are ready to put it out.
- It keeps
- Four days wrapped in the fridge, and a week for the blue. Take it out an hour before you serve it.
- Pickup
- Thursday to Sunday, 10 to 6, at 218 Warren Street, Hudson, New York. Call 518 828 0142 and we will have it ready.
- Paying
- At the counter when you collect, or on the phone. No deposit, and nothing is taken from this page.
The cave
Ripe is a place.
Under the shop is a brick room at fifty-two degrees and ninety-two percent. What sits on the front shelf is cut this week. The two batches behind it are not ready yet: hold one and it goes on your ticket for the day it can leave.
Fifty-two degrees, ninety-two percent, all year.
Nothing on this page is real cheese.
Tickets from the counter.
Four from the spike by the register. The rest are in a shoebox under it.

The ticket goes
in the bag.
The board you built is the ticket. It says what is in the bag, what it weighs, and the first day it can leave the cave, which is not always today.
- Cut the morning you collect it
- Wrapped in cheese paper, labelled by hand
- Kept in the cave until you ask for it
- Bring the ticket back and we will cut the same again
