Item of the Day: Dancing Fern Cheese from Sequatchie Cove Creamery

By | Cheese, Chef's Feed, Gourmet, Gourmet Cheese, Item of the Day, Southern Foods, What Chefs Want

Named for the native ferns that sway and nod at the breezy mouth of a cave in Coppinger Cove where the creamery is located, Dancing Fern is inspired by the famous raw milk Reblochon cheese of the Savoie in France.
Tasting notes: A soft and supple texture and barn-yardy aroma, along with notes of cultured butter, shiitake mushroom, and walnuts make it a stand out on the cheese plate.
Pairs nicely with: Pinot Noir, Chignin Blanc, Trappist ales, French farmhouse ciders, marmalades and preserves (in particular grapefruit), dark chocolate, and fresh in-season peaches. Works wonderfully in a classic Tartiflette recipe.
