Product details
Quick Overview Approximately 5 ounces. Asher Blue is an aged, raw, cow's milk blue cheese with a creamy interior and a surprisingly mild finish. Details Asher Blue is one of the few naturally-rinded blue cheeses being made in the U.S. Named after the owner's second son, Asher Blue is a complex blue with an earthy mild finish. Each wheel is pierced 50 times on each side of the wheel to produce its characteristic blue veins. Serve it with jam and crackers for a perfectly paired appetizer, crumble on top of a pile of greens for a satisfying salad or let its complexity meet the simplicity of a grilled steak. Pairing Suggestions Beverage-wise, Asher Blue is versatile. It pairs well with zesty wines like Port or Sauternes, but also stands up to full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon. For our beer drinkers, a strong ale is your best bet. Serving Suggestions Asher Blue can be used to create sophisticated appetizers like mushroom caps stuffed with shallots and herbs or you can simply crumble it on top of a juicy burger. It can be used as the key ingredient for a terrific salad dressing.
After dairying conventionally for 15 years, Al and Desiree Wehner switched their farming method to an intensive grazing management farming style in 1993. In less than a year, they knew that they had discovered a better way to farm where “cows could be cows” and do what nature intended - eat grass!
After a couple of years of Desiree making cheese out of their family kitchen, Sweet Grass Dairy was born in 2000. It was her goal to highlight the delicious, grass-based milk that their cows were producing through a range of handcrafted cheeses. They quickly realized that she needed help, so they invited their daughter, Jessica, and son-in-law, Jeremy Little, to join the family creamery. Al and Desiree believe in giving opportunities, so they were thrilled when Jeremy and Jessica wanted to purchase the cheesemaking part of the business in 2005.
The Littles have continued to grow Sweet Grass Dairy over the years by expanding the distribution of their cheeses nationally and opening a restaurant in downtown Thomasville. Jeremy and Jessica have raised 4 boys, received over 30 national and international awards for their cheeses, and remained loyal to the vision of cultivating an inspired American food culture. They have done this by handcrafting the most flavorful and high quality cheeses possible from the milk of healthy, barn-free cows grazing on grass grown year round under the Georgia sun.
