Cabot Clothbound Cheddar is an exceptional cheese crafted by the Cabot Creamery Cooperative in Vermont, USA. This artisanal cheddar is a collaboration between Cabot and the Cellars at Jasper Hill, showcasing the art of traditional cheddar making and aging. The cheese is made from high-quality milk of Holstein cows, known for its rich and creamy properties.
The aging process of Cabot Clothbound Cheddar is unique. Wrapped in cloth, a traditional method for aging cheddars, the cheese is then aged in the Cellars at Jasper Hill for 10 to 14 months. This method allows the cheese to breathe and develop a complex flavor profile. During this time, the cheese acquires a distinctive taste, balancing sweet, nutty, and tangy notes, with a hint of caramel and a savory finish.
Cabot Clothbound Cheddar's texture is firm yet crumbly, offering a satisfying mouthfeel. It's a versatile cheese that enhances any cheeseboard, pairing well with fruits like apples and grapes, and is excellent in cooking, adding depth to dishes such as mac and cheese.
