Grafton, Vermont is a likely setting for a world-class cheddar. Cheesemaking traditions in this historic village date from the nineteenth century when dairy farmers gathered together in a cooperative to make their surplus milk into cheese. In the days before refrigeration, there were many such cooperatives in the rural agricultural communities and an abundance of fresh, creamy milk was turned into a food that could be stored for a longer period of time.
Grafton 2 Year Classic Cheddar is an outstanding mature cheddar cheese selected for its pronounced flavor and smooth finish. This two year aged cheese is excellent when accompanied with dried fruits and nuts, crusty breads, and big wines.
Tillamook Vintage White cheddar from Oregon at $5.00 per pound on Kauai beats this Vermont cheese at [$], hands down.
