Garlic and Peppercorn Cheddar

Inspired by French kitchens, Garlic Peppercorn Cheddar by Plymouth Artisan Cheese is an upbeat and creamy creation from master cheesemaker Jesse Werner. He believes in the character of this cheese which takes on savory flavors from onion, garlic, red peppers, and green peppercorns. Inspired by French culinary traditions in using poivre vert for sauces and cheeses, this cheese is as complex as it is flavorful.

With all of its complexity, Plymouth Artisan uses traditional cheese making methods and granular curd recipe to bring the flavors together. They age each wheel for sixty days and hand-wax it for preservation just as they did in the 19th century. Plymouth Artisan Cheese sources all of their milk from a single herd raised near the cheese factory. It’s cheese made with the freshest, purest milk Vermont has to offer.

Plymouth describes this cheese as “a whole plate of dinner in just one bite.” So this is a cheddar that can stand on its own two feet. Onion and peppers pair well with Malbec, Shiraz, or Chianti and would follow suit for this amazing cheddar.
