We stumbled upon them at Camp North End Farmer's Market. Nice array of different flavors and packaging of fresh, locally made goat cheese. The young teen working the table, Ezri, expertly answered our questions, permitted samples (Covid protocols in place), and fielded questions about pricing, etc. I'd like to know where they found her. Loved it. We left with a bag full of goodies and especially liked their picnic sampler. Includes four 2-ounce tubs with different types of chevre, crackers, napkins, and small spoons perfect for a snack while at the park. Just add wine. Nice. As of this writing, Blue Goat Dairy can be found at 10 area Farmer's Markets throughout the area. Milking all the udders on my "Give 'em a whirl meter." Goat here. Baaaaaah.

We absolutely loved there cheddar which was mild and easy to pair, but we think the Gouda is our favorite. We got some bagel chips to go with our garlic spread to snack on. Definitely worth coming if you are in the area.

The root beer is fantastic as was the ice cream and grilled cheese sandwiches. We also had a charcuterie tray which was good but definitely the 5 cheeses we had were best paired with the condiments provided and only one did we really enjoy on its own. It rained a bit that day which is not perfect given the eating layout but we had a great time and would definitely visit again.

Let me explain: A friend was celebrating a milestone birthday and spending the weekend in Asheville. We thought of so many different things we could do to celebrate from afar, but nothing felt "milestone"...it felt ordinary. Until, in a search, I ran across South Slope Cheese. Not only did we arrange for the delivery of an amazing cheese board to my friend's hotel, they went the extra mile when they learned my friend is vegan. They called, asked questions all around my friend's preferences, even worked with the hotel to make sure the delivery was kept in the right spot waiting for my friend's check in. All reports of the surprise pointed to every single bit of special and delicious was absolutely wonderful. Every cheese was delicious...and my friend didn't even realize all of the cheese options on the tray were totally vegan!!!! She was crying when she realized just how much care South Slope Cheese put into making this truly a treat for HER. The extra time and care they took really telegraphed to me that they not only care about their customers and the experience...but about the cheese! I may NEVER set foot in this wonderful shop because I don't live in the area, but I will ALWAYS recommend and praise this wonderful business.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon to get some grilled cheeses, scope out the new diggs, and take home some delicious products.

Walk up to the counter to order or take advantage of their expertise here!! While we were enjoying our grilled cheeses, a couple came in needing a lot of advice for a party they were having later this evening. They went to the right place!! Absolutely no shortage of helpful knowledge and it sounds like they were all set for their plans in the evening. Definitely come check out this location!!
