Crowley

Crowley is an American cheese produced in Vermont by Crowley Cheese. The cheese is named after its creator, Winfield Crowley. It's made from raw cow's milk in many varieties – mild, medium sharp, extra sharp, flavored with garlic, sage, pimento, hot peppers, smoked, chives, or manzanilla olives.

Each of the varieties can be aged from 2-5 months to more than 12 months, when the flavors become more intense. The rind is cloth-wrapped, while the texture is creamy, firm, crumbly, and smooth. The aromas range from fresh and mild to smoky, while the flavors can be buttery, mild, smoky, savory, sweet, spicy, and tangy.
