SEQUATCHIE COVE Cumberland 4#

Sequatchie Cove Creamery is nestled at the edge of a forested mountainside, surrounded by waterfalls, springs, and caves. Since 2010 Nathan and Padgett Arnold have used time-tested methods to conjure the terroir of the Sequatchie Valley, collaborating with cute cows and the living landscape to make Savoie-inspired cheeses worth sharing. On their journey of discovery, they’ve developed expressive cheese styles inspired by the Sequatchie Valley and the Cumberland Plateau. It all started with a few Devonshire cows and a lot of courage. Through more than a decade of trial and error, the evolving farmstead herd taught them the secrets of a unique land. This holistic approach to growing plants and raising cows turned sun, grass and milk into delicious cheeses. Cumberland is a trusty Alpine-style cheese like Tomme de Savoie, but its remarkable rind and pleasing textures are an echo from the Tennessee forest. Tomme style cheeses have a straightforward way of capturing the places they represent, and Cumberland just keeps unfolding no matter how long you explore.
