Orb Weaver Farm - Cave Aged
Description:
Using stones from neighboring Panton, VT, Orb Weaver built a cave in a small hillside on their farm to replicate as closely as possible the aging process used for centuries before refrigeration. Cave conditions are warmer and more humid than those for their standard farmhouse cheese, and the aging cycle is longer - up to a year for a 10-pound wheel. They don't wax cave-aged cheese, but instead turn and brush the wheels every other day for several months, creating a natural rind. This old-fashioned process results in a magnificant treat for cheese lovers: a robust, complex array of nutty, earthy flavors and a firm, slightly drier texture that makes our cave-aged cheese a true delicacy.
