Cypress Wedge
Ready To Eat
There’s something unexpected about slicing into a wheel from a Thomasville, Georgia creamery and finding olives, Calabrian chiles, basil, sun-dried tomato, and dill running through the paste — but that’s exactly what Sweet Grass Dairy built with Cypress, a semi-firm pasteurized wheel launched in 2024 that brings Mediterranean pantry flavors into unmistakably Southern hands. The ingredients are flecked throughout rather than folded in as an afterthought, giving each slice a savory, herbaceous brightness and a clean finish that reads equally well on an antipasto platter, a flatbread, or a panini. A Bronze medalist at the 2025 World Cheese Awards in its debut year, it’s the most visually arresting cheese on any board it lands on. Perfect for an aperitivo spread, a flatbread night, or the person who thinks they’ve seen every cheese.

The South’s Most Honored Artisan Cheese
Out of Thomasville, Georgia, Sweet Grass Dairy makes some of the most decorated artisan cheese in the American South, led by Green Hill, a luscious double-cream with a soft bloomy rind that has become the creamery's calling card. Jessica Little grew up on a dairy, learning from a mother who helped pioneer artisan cheesemaking in the Southeast; she and her husband Jeremy have spent two decades building on that foundation, earning more than 50 national and international honors from the American Cheese Society, the World Cheese Awards, and the Good Food Awards.
The range runs from Thomasville Tomme, aged 60 to 90 days in the style of a Pyrenees tomme, nutty and smooth, to Asher Blue, creamy enough to convert skeptics, to Georgia Gouda, a 2023 release that swept the major competitions in its first year. Sweet Grass Dairy's Southern cheese is shipped nationwide on Goldbelly, proof the South belongs on any cheese board.
