Essex Street Market cheesemonger Ann Saxelby blogs about her special bond with Martha Stewart: their shared love for Vermont cheese:
In the pages of Martha's magazine, farms we love like Jasper Hill,
Consider Bardwell, Thistle Hill, and Blue Ledge Farm all bask in the
cheesy glow of praise bestowed on them by America's first lady of taste… if you'd like to taste for yourself what all the ruckus is about, stop
by the shop for a nibble or two of delicious Vermont farmstead cheese.
For this week only, Saxelby Cheesemongers is offering a special on
Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, that delicious, creamy-as-all-get-out,
butterscotchy-sweet behemoth round of cheese that is a special
collaboration between the old timers (Cabot Creamery) and the
greenhorns, relatively speaking (Jasper Hill Farm) of the Vermont
cheese biz. We'll be cutting Cabot for $16 per pound, a five dollar
slice off the regular price. If you haven't tried this cheese yet,
shame on you! In our opinion, it's one of the best cheeses to ever hail
from the great state of Vermont.
