I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to various cheese websites, resources, and sellers for the cheese images and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!
Here is your daily cheese facts: This cheese is made by Sequatchie Cove Creamery. They say the ancient Greeks wrapped their favorite foods in flavorful leaves to preserve them and to make them even more delicious. This cheese comes from a leafy place, so when Sequatchie Cove Creamery had this idea, their friends and family raided their gardens and yards for the choicest fig leaves and brought them to their stand at the farmer’s market. That’s when Shakerag really came to life. From there, adding Tennessee liquor seemed natural. That’s why this cheese takes its name from Shakerag Hollow, a place known for moonshining mischief and a bonanza of spring wildflowers. Shakerag is complicated and over-the-top in all the best ways. Basically, this cheese is down to party. They steep those luscious fig leaves in Chattanooga Whiskey, and hand-wrap each wheel of Shakerag Blue.
Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.

Looks like something the elves gave Frodo with lembas bread.

Recently tried this! I didn’t know about the whiskey soaked leaves. How interesting!
I really liked this one and would totally buy it again. Probably next week 🤣
