GRAFTON — Grafton Village Cheese, a business of the nonprofit Windham Foundation, has been recognized as a 2013 “Editors' Choice Food Awards” winner in Yankee's November/December issue.
Grafton Village Cheese's Vermont Clothbound Cheddar was recognized by the regional magazine's editors as a favorite artisanal New England food in the dairy and cheese category.
Vermont Clothbound Cheddar is a classic milled-curd, cow's-milk cheddar wrapped in cheesecloth and then aged slowly in the company's own aging caves for at least six months. The process results in a “very bold cheese with both nut and mushroom notes,” according to the company.
The company has received 23 awards, including second-place from the American Cheese Society and the Big E New England Regional Cheese Competition. It won a bronze at the United States Championship Cheese Contest this year and has also been recognized in the International Cheese Awards.
