Cabot Clothbound Cheddar

Jasper Hill Farm

Cabot Clothbound Cheddar Cheese cow's milk Jasper Hill Farm
Regular price $17.75 Sale

This cheddar cheese has been dubbed addictive by certain devoted fans. A hefty, beautiful, and rustic wheel, Cabot Clothbound Cheddar is rich and caramelly, speckled with bits of crystalline crunchy goodness. This storied cheese evolved as a partnership between Jasper Hill Farm and Cabot Creamery, two of the best dairy enterprises in the Green Mountain State. The cheese is made at Cabot Creamery, then are shipped to the Cellars at Jasper Hill when just a few days old. The team at the Cellars then bandages the cheeses, coats them with hot lard to make the cloth stick to surface of the cheese, and places them on wood shelves to age for 12-14 months. The result - a clothbound cheddar that is sweet and savory - think chicken broth meets peanut butter (in the best possible way!). Contains lard.

Pairing notes: Lagers, IPA’s, dry ciders, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, full bodied reds like Nebbiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon

Recent Awards: ACS 2023, 3rd Place Cheddar wrapped in cloth, with a natural rind, aged 13+ months

Great Shipment and Great Cheese

I ordered 1.5 lbs of this cheddar and 2 wheels of Noblette for my Grandmother's 90th bday- shipped to Virginia. It was packaged with such care, well chilled, and delicious. The cheese was in peak condition/ripeness. The cheese mongerer (I forgot his name) was also super helpful when I came to him two months prior to the event. I will be ordering from Saxelby again and again- very reliable and delicious!

Cabot Clothbound Cheddar?

Delicious. Not as sharp as I expected but definitely worth trying.

Cheddar-est Cheddar

I like it because it is cheddar on crack. It tastes like cheddar but with a nutty hint. It is a bit salty and highly addictive. It is super crave-able
