Pawlet

Pawlet is an American toma-style cheese produced in Vermont. The cheese is made from raw milk of Jersey cows. It has a buttery, creamy, and smooth texture underneath its natural rind, with numerous small eyes that are generated by gas-producing bacteria.


The flavors are buttery, mild, and rounded, with hints of grass, herbs, and flowers. Pawlet is easily recognizable by its red-golden rind which has the imprints of the cheese mold. The cheese is very versatile, melts well, and it's often used in grilled cheese sandwiches and burgers.


It's recommended to pair it with whole grain mustard, toast, and a glass of wheat beer.
