Keith Adams started Alemar Cheese in 2008 in Mankato, MN. Keith asked for guidance and studied under some of the greatest American producers at that time and quickly honed his craft. The milk for Alemar's cheese comes from a single herd of 20 grass fed cows. In 2019, Alemar moved into the Twin Cities and is now part of the multifaceted Food Building, which allowed them to increase production and have a wider audience.

Apricity is a lovely little soft-ripened cow's milk gem with a geotrichum rind. It is rich and yeasty, combining a sour cream tanginess with the sweetness of cow's milk. Soft and spreadable, and a great little size at just 4 ounces per wheel.
