This natural rind raw cow’s milk from the Southwestern tip of Virginia showcases the incredible work of Meadow Creek Dairy. The combination of the higher moisture, semi-soft raw Jersey cow’s milk paste and the delicate mix of molds that the earthy rind is comprised of just scream GRASS. And when it comes to grass cultivation and land stewardship, the crew at Meadow Creek are leading the charge (since 1988). Beyond the overarching flavors of thick, damp grass, there are lovely notes of sautéed hen-of-the-woods mushrooms, digestive biscuit toastiness, and lavish egg custard.

Our favorite application: Keep it simple, stupid! Perhaps a lovely little picnic or porch-hang with some of our Cultured Crackers and a bit of V. Smiley Strawberry-Black Currant-Rosemary Jam for a complementary bit of fruitiness!

Tastes like: Lush meadow grasses, egg custard, digestive biscuits.
