Palmetto Cheese is a trademark for a brand of pimento cheese from Pawleys Island Specialty Foods, a division of Get Carried Away based in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. It is manufactured and packaged at Duke Sandwich Productions located in Easley, South Carolina.[1] It is sold in three varieties: Original, Jalapeño and Bacon
History
The Palmetto Cheese recipe was developed by Sassy Henry for tailgating at Atlanta Braves games. In 2006, the cheese was officially marketed to the area with 20 packages put for sale at Independent Seafood in Georgetown, South Carolina.[2]
To meet the demand for the growing company, the Henry’s (Sassy and Brian) found a manufacturer that could help them with future growth and opened a facility in Simpsonville, South Carolina.[2] In 2011, distribution nearly doubled with the addition of Giant-Carlisle, Giant-Landover, Stop & Shop, and Albertsons locations. In April, 2012, Palmetto Cheese became available at 699 Walmart stores, leading Duke Sandwich to develop a new 80,000-square-foot facility to deal with increased production.[1][3]
