This American take on English clothbound cheddar was borne from a landmark partnership between Vermonts Jasper Hill Creamery and Cabot Dairy Cooperative. The cheddar ages in the Cellars at Jasper Hill, yielding a crumbly and slightly crunchy, tangy and savory-sweet paste.

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.
