Located in: Cheese, ALL Unpasteurized

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. Aged for a year and sealed with red wax, Grafton's One-Year Premium Cheddar is made with unpasteurized Jersey cow milk for maximum flavor and richness. It takes ten pounds of this milk to make a pound of cheese. Grafton's Premium delivers the full flavor of old-fashioned farmhouse cheddar.

Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.

Comments about Grafton Red Wax One-Year Premium Cheddar:

This reminds me of all the great cheddars I used to enjoy all the time while living in New Hampshire. It has a nice sharp flavor with plenty of gusto. Being in Georgia now (which isn't much for cheese making), it's nice to find this familar taste that reminds me of New England's best cheeses.

I was VERY disappointed with this offering. A weak, bitter taste - nasty stuff - If I were making cheese like this I would consider a career change.
