Pawlet (Pawlet)

Pawlet is a versatile and approachable cheese, inspired by traditional Italian mountain cheeses like fontina, but unique to our corner of Vermont. This cheese tells you its season in the hue of the paste and intensity of the flavor, but Pawlet will always be Pawlet: mellow, grassy and sweet, rich and complex. The curds look like bright, buttered popcorn before they’re pressed into basket hoops. In a cave all of their own, every wheel of Pawlet is smear-ripened until a sunset-orange rind develops. Pawlet is as comfortable on Michelin-starred cheese lists as it is at neighborhood farmers markets and summertime picnics.
