My husband and I booked the cheese tasting experience at the last minute and it definitely exceeded our expectations. The two of us got a private tasting that just blew us away. The experience took place in the most adorable vacation rental that is on Joaquins property near where his cheese is made and stored. We ate soooo much cheese, chocolate, jam, nuts and crackers. Joaquin is a passionate expert and it truly shows. His enthusiasm for his craft was contagious and I could have listened to him talk about cheese for hours. We left the experience with full stomachs, big smiles, a bag of cheese and soap and a new friend. 10/10 will definitely be back.

I’ve been enjoying Dos Lunas for years, starting back when you could only get it at the Austin Farmer’s Market. The cheese has always been excellent- I believe their production quality, obsession with the best milk and the raw enzymes of unpasteurized milk make the best cheese. Now there are many varieties, but my favorite is still the Classico. Can’t go wrong on a sandwich, with breakfast, as a gift, or on a cheese plate - I love Dos Lunas

Dos Lunas - the Melting Pot in action, a portrait of the American Dream. The cheeses are, on the one hand, a critique of the American status quo: Dos Lunas cheeses are raw and unpasteurized in effort to benefit the health of Americans rather than line corporate pockets at the expense of public health. On the other, the cheeses are a representation of the American promise: immigrants with an entrepreneurial spirit, strong work ethic, and creative vision - like Joaquin Avellan, the Venezuelan founder of Dos Lunas - have a real opportunity to bring with them knowledge from abroad to give birth to something the market demands and the world will come to appreciate. Ahead of their time, yet collaborative, visionary, yet rooted in cheese making practice from far and near, Dos Lunas is a company we have no problem supporting - they carry our greatest values.

BEST QUESO FRESCO IN TEXAS! I am lactose intolerant and this is the only cheese I can eat that doesnt make me feel ill at all. If anything I have felt better. Their milk is 100% grass fed and it shows. Grateful to have this artisan cheese available. They ship pretty fast too! Its become a home staple for my family

Joaquin is a Cheesemaker. In its simplest form that means he makes cheese. But after spending an hour with him during a cheese tasting tour I learned many things. The most important takeaway was this: a true cheese maker is far far more than just a person who follows some recipe and churns out block after block of cheese. There is a passion behind this process. There is learning, adapting, refining, honing skills and absorbing knowledge, making mistakes, making discoveries, experimentation, endless pampering and nursing of these magical creations over the course of years into a myriad of flavors that please the senses of anyone fortunate enough to partake. Ok, about the cheeses. Extraordinary. He took us from mild farm cheese to the craziest “bleu” cheese I’ve ever had. Cheese freshly crafted to cheese that began its life over ten years ago. I was particularly fond of the ten year old applewood smoked cheddar, the chipotle with the subtlest hint of scotch & the Turpial, but sincerely it was all fantastic. If you get the chance, try it. I know favorite flavors are as individual as favorite colors but I’m sure he has something to make you smile. Thank you, Joaquin. It was truly a pleasure to sit down and get a glimpse into your passion. You have redefined “Cheese Maker” for me and I’m forever grateful. I wish you the best and I am so happy there are people out there still doing things the right way

Ordered online two types of cheese from these guys, the clasico and seco. I live in Massachusetts. The cheese has to travel a long distance, all the way from TX to here. Thus, they asked me to be home for the delivery so that I could refrigerate the cheese as soon as it arrived, so I did. Everything looked fine, and they included a piece of a different type of cheese for free. I put the cheese in the fridge and was looking forward to trying it. To my surprise, when I tried the seco, it had gone completely bad. It was extremely sour and just inedible. I had to throw the whole $9 piece of cheese away. The clasico did not go bad, but its taste was so average that I just did not want to eat it. It tasted like any other cheese. I was so disappointed, especially cause I had just spent 30+ dollars (with shipping and taxes) on a piece of very average cheese and another piece of spoiled cheese. I wrote an email to them asking if I could get my money back for the piece that went bad, and never heard back from them. Terrible experience and definitely do not recommend.
