Sequatchie Cove Walden Cheese

Tucked in the hills outside Chattanooga Tennessee, Sequatchie Cove Creamery makes a small lineup of cheeses with heart. Though they focus on raw milk cheeses, this cheese is a pasteurized version of Reblochon - a famous French cheese. Its thin, velvety rind contains a soft interior. Lightly aged to develop the milk’s flavors, it has the delicate flavors of mushrooms and butter, with a silky texture when ripe. For beverage pairings, the cheesemaker recommends lighter-bodied fruity reds, crisp whites, and dry or semi-sweet hard cider. Winning food pairings include floral honey, smoked salmon, and rustic crusty breads.
