Cheese

Pawlet’s a town that brings Americans slate, syrup and timber and-- even better-- Pawlet’s a cheese that’s delivers just as eclectic and delightful a mix. Hailing from Consider Bardwell, a farm that straddles Vermont’s picturesque Champlain Valley and New York’s agri-centric Washington County, Pawlet tastes of grassy barnyard, cultured butter, and fresh-from-the-oven 7-grain bread loaves.

Fourth generation cheesemaker Chris Roelli committed the equivalent of blue cheese heresy by piercing his cheese and then pressing it to inhibit the mold growth. The result is Dunbarton Blue, a sort of blue-veined cheddar that's potent yet approachable. In a typical blue, the pierce holes introduce air that allows the desirable mold to proliferate within the cheese. By pressing it, Chris halts the process, developing a distinct but subtle bluing that hints at piquancy without punching you in the face. A unique and fantastic cheese from a true American cheesemaking family. Read More
