Cheese, Cabot Cheddar Clothbound Collab - Cow - QTR WHL 8 LB AVG - From Cabot, Jasper Hill, Provisions

"In 2003, Cabot Creamery asked us to age a special batch of cheddar, sparking a revolutionary collaboration. After it comes to our Cellars, we coat the young cheese in lard and add an additional layer of cloth. The cheeses ripen in a specially calibrated vault in our Cellars, where they are constantly brushed, turned, and monitored for quality."

"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."

"PAIRING & SERVICE -- Clothbound has 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. Clothbound is an award-winning cheese, including American Cheese Society's 2006 Best in Show. - Adapted from Jasper Hill's website
