Smoked Cheddar

Cold-smoked with Hickory, Smoked Cheddar by Plymouth Artisan Cheese is creamy with hints of salt and bacon and makes a bold statement on any plate. Take in the strong aromas of this rich cheddar from Vermont’s artisanal cheese master. Using recipes brought over by European settlers coming to the New World, Plymouth has perfected the art and science of granular curd cheesemaking. The cutting and stirring of the curds create an open-bodied texture rarely found in American cheese. Once you add the hickory smoke, this cheddar really comes to life.

In fact, every aspect of Plymouth’s process is done with traditional artisan methods in mind. Their factory was originally built in 1890 by John Coolidge, the father of 30th president Calvin Coolidge, and revitalized in 2009. A lot of the original equipment is used by their team as well, and each cheese is hand waxed to preserve their traditional flavors. Every cheese from Plymouth is made from raw cow’s milk sourced from local herds raised with no antibiotics or additives. This ensures the freshest raw milk which adds consistency to their products.
