Aged Cheddar
The tradition of handcrafted cheese in Grafton Village dates back to 1892, when local dairy farmers delivered their raw milk to the village creamery to have it turned into cheese. Today, our cheddars are aged from one to three years. With each aging year, a new flavor profile emerges.
Vermont Made Cave Aged Cheese
Vermont cheddar cheese is where Grafton started. The Grafton Cave Aged line of specialty cheeses takes Grafton beyond those roots. These creations are carefully natured in Grafton's cave aging facility in the heart of Grafton Village. These artisanal, small batch cheeses may include cow's milk, sheep's milk and even a combination of the two. This line is primarily found in specialty cheese shops and is ever evolving.
Truffle, Maple Smoked and Smoked Chili Cheddar
We've infused our handcrafted aged cheddar with natural ingredients to give you a line of flavored cheddars to delight the palate. These younger aged cheddars are great for melting and cooking, and are a delicious addition to any cheese board.
