Stripling’s Old Fashioned Red Rind Hoop cheese is mild in taste and is wonderful when served as a dessert cheese with melons, berries, and various wines.

But red rind hoop cheese is also great to have on hand in the summer when the squash is coming in fresh from the fields and you feel like whipping up a yummy squash casserole. Our recipe below for Summer Squash Casserole makes an impressive main course in and of itself since the cheese and eggs give heartiness. Pair it alongside sliced fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and other garden vegetables as well as a slice or two of homemade corn bread.

Although you may have thought you merely purchased a jar of Stripling’s Fig Preserves, you also are getting a slight bond with those who lived in prior civilizations. That’s because cultivation and consumption of figs date all the way back to the ancient Roman Empire and even Biblical times, where figs represented peace and prosperity.

And, to be quite honest, when consuming Stripling’s Fig Preserves, we actually do feel very peaceful and prosperous and that all is at least momentarily well with the world.

For a more modern twist, use our fig preserves in this recipe for slightly spiced cookies. We recommend pairing them with a cool glass of milk, or, if you prefer, a hot cup of coffee.
