Let’s Get Funked Up

What’s My Name? Grayson

What Kind of Cheese Am I? I’m a washed-rind cheese made with raw cow’s milk

Where Am I From? Meadow Creeky Dairy in Galax, Virgina

Three Words That Describe Me: Brawny, smoldering, and persuasive

Fun Fact: I’m made with only the best spring and summer milk, so you can only get a piece of me 9 months out of the year

What Do I Look Like? I have an auburn rind and a golden paste

What Do I Smell Like? Like your feet after a hot summer day in your nastiest sneakers

What Do I Feel Like? Silky, pudgy custard with a sticky, slightly crunchy rind

What Do I Taste Like?  An explosion of minestrone soup – all beef stock, onions, and a kick of malt vinegar

Favorite Foods: Worship me with juicy grapes or dried figs with mild crackers. Get me some dark bread and pickles and I’ll rock your world. But definitely try me naked first; I’m already the whole package.

Favorite Beverages: I’m always craving malty brown ales, but don’t be afraid to break out some pricey port, too. I’m worth it.

Where to Find Me: I’m available from late spring until wintertime. Ask your local cheesemonger where to find a wedge.
