On this page you will find the cheeses we offer as part of our main product line.  Please check in for quantities and availability.  Also, as new types or styles of cheese become available, they will be added.

 Piedmont
Piedmont, our signature cheese, won the Farmhouse category for sheep's milk cheese at the American Cheese Society's annual competition in 2005.  It is the first cheese we produced, and is always extremely popular. Tasting notes describe it as nutty, with fruity tones, and a wonderful aftertaste. If you have never had our cheeses, it is a great one to try first.
 
Everona Piedmont - Sheep's milk cheese aged to a perfection of taste - nutty flavor, even flowery, with a slight tang and earthy aftertaste characteristic of good sheep's milk cheese.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Small wheels average 1-1/2 pounds and large wheels average 6 pounds.

 Stony Man
 
 
Stony Man was a new creation in 2005, and took 3rd Place for Aged Sheep's Milk Cheeses at the American Cheese Society Competition in Portland, Oregon!  It is made with a different culture, designed to be heated to a higher temperature when being made, so it has a smooth, dense texture and more pronounced flavor. As it ages, it forms a great sweet finish. 
 
 
Available in the larger 6 pound wheels

Shenandoah
 
 
Shenandoah was created in 2008 by Pat and Carolyn. It is a  Swiss-Style cheese which is know for is tangy flavor, swiss texture and unforgettable taste. In 2009 Shenandoah recieved a Bronze award in the United States Cheese Contest. The Shenandoah also place TENTH in the WORLD in 2010 at the World Cheese Championship!
 

 Pride of Bacchus
 

Pride of Bacchus is a red wine soaked cheese. It gets its wine bath after brining and just before it goes into the cave to age.

 

We use a wonderful fruity red wine from Burnley Vineyards in nearby Gordonsville - Rivanna Red. The result is a distillation of a fruity, heady scent of a warm Virginia sunset.

Assorted Cheeses Ripening in the "Cave"

As you can see, we have quite a variety.   However, we sell more Piedmont than any other kind, possibly because it was our first cheese thirteen years ago and is the most well-known. We have shown it more often; therefore, we have won more prizes with this lovely cheese!
