Winnimere season has begun!

For us, Vermont has 5 seasons; Winter, Mud, Summer, Fall and WINNIMERE.

Our favorite cheese to make, inspired by Jura Mountain traditions, is only produced in the winter months when the cows come in from pasture. The beautiful dry hay that comprises most of their diet at this time creates an especially rich milk that is perfect for decadent soft-ripened cheeses. It’s meant to be enjoyed soon after making while longer-aged Alpine Style cheeses like Alpha Tolman, made in summer, continue ripening away in the caves.

Winner of American Cheese Society's 'Best in Show' Award, 2013

Winnimere is made from the fresh, raw milk of the Ayrshire breed cows who live in the barn attached to the creamery. This close proximity of cows to cheesemaking earns this seasonal beauty the designation of ‘farmstead.’

Young wheels are wrapped in strips of spruce cambium, the tree’s flexible inner bark layer, harvested from local woodlands. During aging, the cheese is washed in a salt brine to help rind development. When ripe, this cheese is spoon-ably soft and tastes of bacon, sweet cream, and spruce.

We only have a limited number of wheels available from our first batch, which can ship to arrive in time for New Year’s Eve. These should sell out before our order deadline of Saturday 12/28 for shipping Monday 12/30 and arriving 12/31.
