Boasting a robust flavor profile, Hunter Cheddar is Plymouth’s sharpest cheese. Made from high-quality, locally sourced milk, this white cheddar is aged for two years. As the lactose content decreases, crystallization occurs, resulting in a brittle texture punctuated by a mineral crunch of salty flavor.
Founded in 1890, this artisanal dairy remains true to its roots, combining time-honored techniques with a dedication to innovation. Situated in Vermont's verdant hills, Plymouth Artisan Cheeses celebrates the local terroir, sourcing the finest local ingredients to create cheeses that capture the essence of the region’s natural abundance.
Hunter Cheddar's versatility makes it a favorite among chefs and home cooks. Whether grated over pasta, melted into a hearty soup, or enjoyed on a cheese board with fruit and nuts, Hunter adds sharp cheddar depth and richness to any dish.
Pair Hunter with a mixture of fresh and dried fruits such as apples, figs, pears, or grapes. The sweetness of the fruit complements the cheese's sharpness. Grate over salads, pasta, or soups to add a burst of flavor. Or create gourmet sandwiches, grazing boards, and more. Be sure to finish your dish with a robust red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
