Products
Our creamery is certified organic by Vermont Organic Farmers (VOF) and we strive to make rich, delicious cheeses that we hope you will enjoy. All of our cheeses are now are made from the 100% grass-fed organic Jersey milk of Severy Farm in Cornwall, Vermont.
Our first products were ACS-award winning Old Fashioned Organic Cream Cheese, followed by another award-winner, Organic Champlain Triple.
Pyramid Scheme is an ash-ripened, pyramid-shaped version of our original triple creme. Recently we introduced Champlain Truffle Triple flavored with Italian black summer truffles.
In order to utilize the skim milk produced by cream separation, we introduced our Organic Queso Fresco made from a blend of skim and whole milk. Additionally, we make Organic Smoked Queso, lightly hickory smoked, and Pepper Queso, spiced with Peppadew and jalapeno peppers.
Currently our only raw-milk cheese, Bleu de Champlain is now in regular production. Showcasing the rich milk with spicy blue notes, available in 2.5 lb wheels with a natural rind.

Bleu de Champlain
We’ve been big fans of blue cheese forever, and finally got around to making one of our own. Bleu de Champlain is crafted from the raw whole milk of Severy Farm, aged 75-90 days before release for sale. During this time the cheese is pierced twice to enhance blue mold growth, while a natural rind develops on the surface. The rich Jersey milk makes for a creamy, spicy finished cheese!

Pepper Queso
Our Pepper Queso features the addition of sweet Peppadew and spicy jalapeno peppers to the curd before moving to the forms. The spicy/sweet combination makes for a high-brow version of pepper jack!

Organic Champlain Triple
American Cheese Society Award WinnerOrganic Champlain Triple is a beautiful soft ripened triple creme with a bloomy white rind. Produced from cultured whole milk and cream, Champlain Triple is now hand ladled into 54-piece block forms and aged approximately 10 days.
It has a rich, creamy interior flavor that is offset by a delicious earthy rind with hints of mushroom. Organic Champlain Triple is a must-have for any cheese plate.

Old Fashioned Organic Cream Cheese
American Cheese Society Award WinnerOld Fashioned Organic Cream Cheese is made without stabilizers or preservatives from cultured fresh organic cow’s milk and cream. This is real cream cheese, not whipped industrial cheese loaded with vegetable gums.
It has a perfect balance of creaminess and tanginess that is unlike any other cream cheese. It’s great on a bagel, on sandwiches, baked in your favorite dessert or simply on its own.

Organic Queso Fresco
Organic Queso Fresco is a soft Mexican-style cheese, meaning simply “fresh cheese” in Spanish. This cheese crumbles on tacos when young and fresh, and becomes more of a shredding and snacking cheese as it matures.
Organic Queso Fresco shreds and melts nicely making it a perfect topping for tacos, pizza, burritos, salads and anywhere you use mozzarella and other fresh cheeses.
-
Organic Smoked Queso
We built a smoker and began hickory smoking our Queso Fresco to create our Smoked Queso. It’s great for snacking and cooking, anywhere a hint of smokey flavor would be desired. Put on tacos, pizza or eat on it’s own! Available in 4 pound wheels and 8 oz retail wedges.

Pyramid Scheme
Pyramid Scheme is our pyramid shaped triple cream with a layer of vegetable ash between the paste and rind. Ash, or food-grade activated carbon, has been used in cheesemaking for hundreds of years. However, it is not approved for organic production so though made with the same milk as our other cheeses, Pyramid Scheme is not certified organic.
Both the shape and ash layer change the ripening of this cheese so you get even more of the creamy, grassy flavors of the milk. And the layering of white mold, black ash and yellow paste is just aesthetically cool!

The Milk
We use our small tanker to haul our 100% grass-fed organic Jersey cow milk from Severy Farm in Cornwall, VT, about 15 minutes from our creamery in Middlebury. View our process to learn how our products go from farm to your table.
