Vermont Shepherd is a distinctive cheese produced by Vermont Shepherd, LLC, which is well-known for being one of the oldest sheep farming and cheese-making operations in Vermont. The cheese is crafted from unpasteurized sheep milk, which comes from their own carefully tended flock.

Vermont Shepherd cheese stands out for its rich, complex flavors that vary slightly with the seasons, reflecting the changes in the pasture grasses the sheep graze on throughout the year. The texture of this cheese is smooth and firm, and it has a natural, rustic rind that adds to its artisanal character.
