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.
