Ashe County Cheese, West Jefferson

We very much enjoyed our stop at the cheese shop. They had such a variety and we wanted them all, but ultimately settled on their black label white cheddar. It was perfect texture and had a wonderful nuttiness probably due to it being aged for 3 months. We also purchased from their local wine selection and settled on a white sangria which was very sweet and fruity. It paired well with the cheese. We were wishing we had some fresh strawberries, but it’s not yet the season. We also got a dip of their ice cream and it was pretty good. My husband bought a bologna and said it was so good after he grilled it up and made our camping trip even more delightful. Great attraction and worth checking out!

We love this place. We have been here several times and we have bought different items every time that are absolutely delicious like their Chow Chow and sweet pickled garlic and butter. The baked cheese is awesome as well. The cheese and butter Factory is across the street and have a video playing of the cheese and butter making process and also a large glass window where you can see the factory but nobody has ever been working when we were there.
