Cheese

Originally begun as a dairy in 1947, Simonton's Cheese now specializes in natural cheddar, made in three-pound wheels and aged six months to two years. The company also sells a range of preserves, sauces, meats, and baked goods.

Cured meat

The family-run Benton's Country Hams cures its bacon, ham, and prosciutto using traditional dry-curing processes.

Sourwood honey, which can often be bought at roadside stands in the Appalachian Mountains, such as at Grandfather Mountain. There is nothing like the tang of this honey, it is liquid Appalachia, amber and resonant.

Ramps! Delicious little wild onions with flat leaves and a pungent yet surprisingly subtle flavor. You can hunt them in the wild (responsibly, of course--take a few, leave some) or find them at roadside stands or ramp festivals.
