Cheese, Aged Bloomin Sweet Ash
Hillsborough Cheese Company



While we may sell more chevre, we are particularly known for our bloomy-rind cheeses, and Sweet Ash is by far the most popular. Made in the traditional Valencay style from fresh, pasteurized local goat milk, cheese cultures, and vegetable rennet, our distinctive Sweet Ash cheeses get their namesake sweetness from an application of food-grade vegetable ash at the beginning of their aging period. We age our Sweet Ash at least 21 days until a suitable bloomy rind has formed, flipping the cheeses often to encourage even and robust bloom growth. The result is a creamy, gooey layer surrounding a delicious, chevre-like spreadable center that alternates between notes of sweetness and bitterness. Sweet Ash cheeses are the perfect party cheese, and are great served plain with crackers or a nice crusty piece of French bread. For a fun twist serve Sweet Ash on slices of apples instead of crackers and drizzle with some fresh honey.
