There are many foods notable in the South, but Pimento cheese may in fact be the holy grail. Also known as the 'pate of the South', this humble spread is comprised of just three main ingredients-shredded cheese, mayonnaise and diced pimento peppers. Sweetgrass Dairy's Pimento Cheese epitomizes the simple yet delicious flavors of this classic spread.
Produced in southeastern Georgia, Sweetgrass Dairy's artisan approach and small-batch methods yield cheeses that reflect tradition and quality in new ways. Their Jersey cow and multi-breed goat herds are rotationally grazed and live their entire lives outside, roaming lush pastures and browsing the South Georgia woods. Their signature pimento recipe is made from shredded Thomasville Tomme, an award-winning French inspired cheese with a buttery, melt in your mouth flavor and texture perfect for this spread. No Southern pimento would be complete without The Sir Kensington mayonnaise and a dicing of Spanish piquillo peppers for a smoky bite. Pimento cheese is a Southern specialty with Northern roots, and has been a staple in Southern kitchens for generations
Enjoy Sweetgrass Dairy's pimento spread simply on its own with crackers or done the classic way spread generously between two slices of white bread. Enjoy a little Southern hospitality alongside a spread of chow chow, pickles, boiled peanuts. Pairs well with a sparkling Cava or Riesling.
