Kashar

Kashar is an American pasta filata cheese made hailing from Vermont. The cheese is made from raw cow's milk and it's produced by Parish Hill Creamery. The curds are strecthed, then placed in molds for at least 2 months.

During the aging period, the cheese is rubbed with olive oil, resulting in a nice edible rind. The texture is firm and dry, the aromas buttery, while the flavors are buttery and tangy. There are also some versions that are aged for more than 6 months, and those develop intensely peppery notes.
