Each piece of Walden is approximately 7oz.

This delightful little number comes from the verdant Sequatchie Valley in Southeastern Tennessee. Sequatchie Cove Creamery was founded by Nathan and Padgett Arnold after the farm where they worked changed from vegetable cultivation to animal husbandry. With fresh milk now readily available, Nathan was inspired to try his hand at cheesemaking, starting with classic French styles. After lots of experimenting, he had cheeses ready to sell and he and Padgett officially opened their creamery in March 2010. In addition to turning out great cheeses, the creamery is also 100% solar powered! Since then, they have found many loyal customers and lots of love from the cheese world, winning awards year after year for their delicious products.

Walden is their newest development and their first pasteurized cheese. They wanted to make something luxurious and easy to eat – soft but not drippy, interesting but not strong, and the perfect size for a few friends to finish in one sitting. This little wheel tastes like shortbread with the delicate rind adding yeastiness, and the pudgy paste bringing flavors of warm butter and walnuts. Padgett tells us she enjoys slices smooshed onto toast with honeycomb or fig jam, and a glass of sparkling wine to balance out the luscious cheese.
