Happy New Year!
My brother gave us some Ashe County Cheese for Christmas! You can visit their cheese store most days of the week, but check their schedule to see if they will be making cheese that day. It is in West Jefferson, about 15 miles north of Deep Gap (Deep Gap is on NC 421 between North Wilkesboro and Boone). We’ll have to go visit them sometime.
Redneck Romano is a nice, hard romano-style cheese.
Carolina Blue Marble is their soft blue-veined cheese.
We also had a gruyere which was supposed to be for the fondue set that he also gave us, but we didn’t bring the fondue set back on the train and Mom is shipping it to us. I hope we have some gruyere left by the time we get the set. Look for the fondue set in another post soon.
