Cheese, Appalachian (Meadow Creek Creamery, NC)
Orrmans Cheese Shop



Appalachian is a semi-firm cow's milk cheese aged for 90 days. It has a delicious, creamy texture, with buttery mushroom undertones.

From the Cheesemaker
Our original recipe, the first cheese we ever made, Appalachian has changed a great deal over our years of production. Our goal with the Appalachian has always been to develop a cheese that showcased our milk, milk from a herd developed to fit our farm’s mountainous terrain, rather than picking a benchmark cheese and struggling to match the farm to it. To this end we’ve kept the make simple and focused on affinage, allowing the Appalachian to form a white coat of penicillium molds that complements its unique flavor.
