Item Description

The Plymouth Cheese Factory is the second oldest cheese factory in the United States - producing high quality and distinctive artisan cheeses for over 125 years. Our cheeses have been crafted, cut and waxed by hand in the same building since 1890. Plymouth cheese is a granular curd cheese very similar to cheddar, but made in a technically different way. The art of achieving the rich, open-bodied texture of granular curd cheese is through the skillful cutting and continuous stirring of the curds. The secret to making great cheese is to get the best and highest quality raw milk supply possible. We use only the finest Vermont raw cow's milk free of any additives, ant-biotics or rBST. Our milk is sourced from a single dairy herd in close proximity to the cheese factory so we can use the freshest milk possible, and we can ensure consistent quality. Our wooden giftbox is filled with 6 blocks of our best flavors of Plymouth cheese, and hand waxed in 6 gorgeous colors. Inside you will find:
Our Sage and Herbs cheese is similar to the taste and texture of cheddar, enhanced with aromatic sage, thyme, rosemary, lavender and oregano. It is hand waxed in a pretty dark purple.
Our Hot Pepper cheese with a taste and texture similar to cheddar, is infused with colorful bits of jalapeno and habanero peppers for more than a touch of heat. It is hand waxed in a warm orange.
Our Garlic Peppercorn cheese is similar to the taste and texture of cheddar, with the addition of a complex flavor spiced with green peppercorns, onion, garlic and red pepper. It is hand waxed in a dark green.
Our East Meadow cheese is a similar taste and texture to cheddar, in a buttery and creamy flavor with slightly sweet notes.
Our Original Plymouth cheese is a signature cheese that offers a full-bodied, sharp flavor rounded out with notes of butter, fruit and nuts. It is hand waxed in bright traditional red.
Our Smoked cheese is similar in taste and texture to cheddar, and cold-smoked over hickory wood using traditional Vermont practices for a rich, savory flavor. It is hand waxed in brown.
The cheese comes in a wooden box by the same Vermont farm the cheese is made.
