A traditional bandaged cheddar made by Cabot cooperative creamery and ripened by Jasper Hill. Clothbound is an approachable but complex natural-rind, bandaged cheddar with a crumbly texture and nutty aroma. The flavor is deeply savory and slightly tangy with caramel sweetness to the finish. Expect a signature tang and caramel nuttiness with a rustic crystalline texture that becomes creamy on the palate. This savory-sweet balance of flavor makes a perfect match for charcuterie, apple jelly, or a rich chestnut honey. Pair with an off-dry sparkling apple cider, hoppy ale, or an oaked Cabernet Sauvignon. Winner of best in show at the american cheese society and best in class on four occasions. Ingredients: pasteurized cow milk, cultures, salt, enzymes. (milk is sourced from local farmer-owners of Cabot Cooperative.)
