CHEESE NOTES

High-res Cremont, from Vermont Butter & Cheese Creamery, a mixed milk cheese combining cows milk, goats milk and cream. Vermont B&C is the home of Allison Hooper, a respected cheese and dairy trailblazer, who also makes a mean butter from what I’ve heard (she creates a special butter solely for the restaurants of Thomas Keller, although it was recently available at Saxelby’s, $59 for 16oz). You can hear her interviewed on Episode 6 of Cutting The Curd. This wheel of Cremont was gloriously decadent, just cresting peak, and a few hours at room temperature had it collapsing gently, the delicate rind barely holding in the molten liquid center.  Scooping into it revealed a buttery, rich paste and a complex flavor befitting the mix of milks; hints of hay, hazelnut, and mushrooms, with a goaty bite and tang balanced by a milky sweetness.  Murray’s describes it as closer to a robiola than a traditional french goat’s milk cheese and it did remind me somewhat of a Robiola Bosina or Roccaverano.  Purchased at the Murrays counter at Grand Central.
