Shakerag Blue
\n\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

|SHEYK-rag<\/span>|<\/p>\n

For this ode to the South, the cheesemakers at Tennessee\u2019s <\/span>Sequatchie Cove Creamery<\/span><\/a> took inspiration from nearby Shakerag Hollow, a ravine full of wildflowers and a moonshining past. Like the moonshiners of Prohibition-era Chattanooga, <\/span>Shakerag Blue<\/span><\/a> is cloaked in darkness: It’s covered with fig leaves soaked in local whiskey. Made using raw milk from the farm\u2019s herd of Jersey and Jersey-Holstein cross cows, it\u2019s a Southern take on leaf-wrapped blue cheese that exemplifies the creamery\u2019s focus on Tennessee terroir. <\/span><\/p>\n

Shakerag Blue is at once bright and salty, sweet and fruity\u2014with a pleasant hint of funk and a mouth-puckering bite at the finish. Expect notes of buttermilk, fermented cream, pine, and grass and a lingering aroma from the whiskey-soaked fig leaves. It\u2019s dense but crumbles perfectly into munchable morsels on a cheese board or when topping salads or steaks. <\/span><\/p>\n

Stay true to Shakerag Blue\u2019s roots by washing it down with Tennessee whiskey, though barley wine or root beer make a fine match too. Pair with dried fruit or smear onto raisin toast to set off the cheese\u2019s deep savoriness. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
