Peaceful Heart Gold

Description

Peaceful Heart Gold – Scandinavian style washed curd

Peaceful Heart Gold is a washed-curd cheese. Washing the curd creates subtle flavors. It is an interior ripened cheese with no rind. The texture is semi-firm and ideal for slicing. The paste is cream to yellow in color depending on the time of year and grasses the cows are consuming. The cheese is lightly pressed which creates small, irregular “eyes” throughout. The aroma and taste is buttery and becomes sharp with age and may resemble Swiss cheese. As it ages further, it takes on more of a salty taste with shades of hazelnut. This cheese will soften easily at room temperature.

In an age where most people only have access to bland food from industrial agriculture, we’re proud to call ourselves your local farmers. We milk the cows ourselves, make cheese by hand, produce nutrient-dense food and heal the earth. And we create food that has a real sense of terroir…that local taste that can only be created from our rich southern Virginia soils and forages.

We’re proud to serve Southwestern Virginia (Galax, Hillsville, Independence, Roanoke and Wytheville, VA and surrounding towns). We also serve the North Carolina Piedmont Triad (Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point, NC) with fresh raw milk dairy products.
