Happy FREE cheese sample Thursday! Today we feature Madison from Green Mountain Cheese in Highgate, VT. https://greenmountainbluecheese.weebly.com/ Here is what they have to say about this raw milk treasure made from their own cows’ milk, “This farmhouse-style blue is unique to our farm. Madison is aged longer than our other cheeses, allowing deep flavors and crunchy cheese crystals to develop. With a firmer, drier texture and hints of Parmesan, it’s named after cheesemaker Dawn Morin-Boucher’s niece. Madison is excellent for melting—try it on pizza with garlic and caramelized onion, in mac & cheese, or made into a compound butter for steak.” Supporting local food producers is vital if they are to continue their, as Green Mountain Cheese says, “celebration of place, process and flavor.” Support and celebrate local. It’s the spice of life and a big part of what makes Vermont, Vermont!
