Appalachian is a raw cow’s milk cheese from Meadowcreek Dairy in Galax, VA. This diary is nestled in the Appalachian Mountains at an elevation of 2,800 feet. This area is largely rural and pristine with clean air, water, and rich soil.
Meadowcreek Dairy strives to showcase their milk and terrior in all of the cheeses they make. Their milk is free from synthetic hormones and antibiotics. They want to reflect the unique character of their milk, farm, and location.
Appalachian was the first cheese made by Meadowcreek Dairy. This is a lightly cooked, pressed-curd cheese that is aged for at least sixty days. This cheese was made in the style of a French Tomme. The paste of this cheese is straw yellow, semi-firm, supple, and densely textured. The rind is dusted with natural white molds. This cheese is mild with a buttery flavor and notes of mushrooms, citrus, and earth with a spicy finish.
This cheese will pair well with a Sauvignon Blanc, Cotes du Rhone, Pinot Grigio, or your favorite beer. Appalachian melts beautifully and is a great addition to any dish. This is a highly sought after cheese which we are lucky to carry!
