About
American artisan cheese stopped apologizing to Europe a while ago, and this lineup is the proof. Jasper Hill’s Alpha Tolman out of Greensboro, Vermont is an alpine-style wheel that holds its own against the Swiss originals. Cabot Clothbound — made in Vermont, aged in the Cellars at Jasper Hill — is the bandage-wrapped cheddar that put American clothbound back on the map. And Hook’s of Wisconsin ages cheddar up to fifteen years, until it’s crumbly, crystalline, and almost savory-sweet. Out west it gets inventive. Humboldt Fog, Cypress Grove’s ash-veined goat cheese from Humboldt County. Point Reyes Toma from the California coast. Shaft’s blue, aged right here in California, and Rogue Creamery’s Caveman Blue from Oregon. From Indiana, Capriole’s O’Banon — a little chèvre wrapped in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves. If you think you know American cheese, start with the clothbound cheddars and work west. It’s a different country than you remember. Cut to order in Beverly Hills and shipped cold to 48 states.
