As our newest cheese, Galax continues to surprise us. We've been experimenting with aging this year, and the 2025 Galax batches we've held back have done marvelously: a rich, brothy paste, the sweetness of the younger cheeses turned into a hint of caramel while the sharpness is mellowed by satisfying umami. The cheese is less springy than its younger counterpart, but it melts in the mouth (and on the raclette maker) even better. 

At over a year old, this Mountaineer is an intense experience: rich and savory with strong toasted notes and a hint of bitter dark chocolate. The texture is delicate, melting on the tongue with a hint of crystal crunch. A true cheese experience!

This long-aged version of our original recipe Appalachian is aged for over eight month in our cellars. The extra age turns Appalachian into a lush, fruity cheese with overtones of toasted butter, with a mushroom earthiness that recalls the intensity of the cellars and a tangy, smooth finish. The texture is firm but velvety, melting on the tongue. 

A small format version of our bestselling cheese, Minis are washed for two months in our cellars with Hardywood’s Singel ale. These petit beauties have Grayson’s classic washed rind earthiness, complimented by the smooth, yeasty beer flavor, with subtle notes of cream and a rich fruity finish. The texture is spreadably silky and melting right up to the reddish-yellow rind. Each Mini is between three-quarters and nine-tenths of a pound.
