Sweet Grass Dairy, located in Thomasville, Georgia, is known for its commitment to sustainable and humane farming practices, producing cheeses that reflect the unique terroir of their pasture-based dairy farm.

Appearance & Texture: Green Hill is a soft-ripened cheese with a bloomy rind, similar in style to a classic Brie. The cheese has a creamy, rich interior that becomes even more luscious as it ripens, with a slightly firm outer layer just beneath the rind.

Flavor Profile: The flavor of Green Hill is buttery and slightly tangy, with a delicate earthiness that comes from the bloomy rind. It has a rich, smooth mouthfeel, and as it ages, the cheese develops deeper, more complex flavors with hints of mushroom and fresh cream.

Pairings: Green Hill pairs wonderfully with a variety of accompaniments. Its creamy texture and mild flavor are perfectly complemented by a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a sparkling wine such as Champagne. It also pairs well with fresh berries, fig jam, or honey, and can be enjoyed with crusty bread or crackers.

Serving Tips: For the best experience, allow Green Hill to come to room temperature before serving to fully appreciate its creamy texture and nuanced flavors. It can be served as part of a cheese board, as an indulgent snack on its own, or even baked in a puff pastry for a decadent appetizer.

Sweet Grass Dairy’s Green Hill is a versatile and approachable cheese that offers a luxurious taste of Southern craftsmanship. Its balance of richness and delicate flavor makes it a favorite among cheese lovers and a must-try for anyone seeking high-quality, artisanal cheese.
