Cremont by Vermont Creamery

Description

Cremont
or, the “Cream of Vermont,” is a double-creme mixed milk cheese made with cow and goat milk with a touch of creme fraiche. This is a true American classic and a celebration of Vermont Creamery’s terroir. A unique cocktail of yeast and mold is added to create its distinctive flavor and to coagulate the milk overnight. It is then shaped by hand and aged for just two weeks where it develops a luxurious texture and flavor.
