SHERRY GRAY is a double-cream, ash-ripened medallion made with grass-fed cows’ milk and cream.

This cheese honors the memory of a treasured member of our community who modeled humanity and inspired our commitment to Community and to Place. Sherry loved Greensboro. He settled into an ascetic life in a sod hut on Barr Hill in the 1970’s trading the fortunes of urban living for the satisfaction of life Here. Sherry was a humble man who served us all, modeled citizenship, boosted community, and inspired generations as a substitute teacher and mentor to many.

The ash coating on this cheese serves a purpose beyond the aesthetically pleasing, stony complexion of its rind; it plays a part in tempering the fresh wheels’ surface pH and fosters the development of a thin, even bloom of flora. The extra cream and relatively long culturing time create an almost whipped texture, which coats the palate in buttery richness.
