2022

Farmstead Clothbound Goat Cheddar is crafted by Stepladder Creamery. This cheese is notable for its unique aging process and distinct flavor profile derived from high-quality goat milk. The clothbound technique allows the cheddar to develop a natural rind and a deeper, more complex taste.


The creamery is known for its artisanal approach and commitment to sustainable farming practices.
