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.
