Dillicious Cheese

We went to the farmer's market today, and we picked out a cheese from a company called Three Graces Dairy. The cheese was called 'Dillicious,' and it was a goat cheese with dill. The cheese was made by Roberta Ferguson. It was very good! The reason the company is called Three Graces Dairy is because of the three dairy-producing animals: cow, sheep, and goat. 

Their cheeses are made locally in WNC (Western North Carolina), and things like that reduce carbon footprint, which is very good for the earth. In fact, this cheese is a farmstead cheese. According to the company's web site, ..."In order for a cheese to be classified as "farmstead," as defined by the American Cheese Society, the cheese must be made with milk from the farmer's own herd, or flock, on the farm where the animals are raised." Also, I like that Three Graces Dairy's animals "... are spoiled rotten on a diet of healthful grain, supplements and free range pastures managed without the use of herbicides or pesticides."

I give this cheese 4 stars. If you want to try it, just stop by the Asheville City Market on on a Saturday morning. Good cheese to you!
