Clothbound Cheddar Quarter Wheel

Cabot Cooperative Creamery has been supporting Vermont’s landscape for over 200 years; the

Certified B Corp is currently owned by 800 farm families throughout the Northeast. Known for

award-winning cheddar, Cabot makes this particular recipe with top-quality milk for a cheese

that is specially designed for cave-ripening by The Cellars at Jasper Hill.

Cabot ships young cheeses to The Cellars for affinage. The wheels receive an initial coating

of lard, which cultivates the optimal surface for microflora growth and slows the moisture

reduction in the cheese. Developing wheels are regularly brushed, turned, and monitored for

quality. Batches are released for sale based not on age, but when the perfect balance of flavor

and melt-in-your-mouth texture are achieved.

Our Cabot Clothbound is an approachable but complex

natural-rind, bandaged cheddar with a crumbly texture

and nutty aroma. Clothbound’s signature tang, caramel

nuttiness, and rustic crystalline texture are the perfect

match for charcuterie, rich chestnut honey, or a dry,

naturally-fermented apple cider.
