Some Of The Very Best Cheese In Virginia Is Made Inside This Beautiful Monastery
Cheesemaking is truly an art form and one that has been cherished here in Virginia for centuries. While you’ll find plenty of local farms that make quality products, some of the best cheese in Virginia can be found inside a beautiful monastery located in Crozet. Since 1990, Monastery Country Cheese has been a welcomed addition to any table. Crafted with fine ingredients and time-honed tradition, this dairy product is one you’ll want to sample.
In 1990, Our Lady of the Angels Monastery began cheese-making as a way to financially support its mission and work.
Next, using techniques developed in the Netherlands, the delicious taste and health benefits of the whole milk are captured into each individual cheese wheel.
During the months of November and December, thousands of red cheese wheels are shipped all over the country.
So the next time you're looking for a special gift, and one that supports Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, you might consider ordering this one-of-a-kind cheese.
