Shelburne Farms' Cheddar with Tom Perry
Join your host Brittany, a passionate cheese enthusiast, as she visits Shelburne Farms to meet up with Tom Perry, who works at not only the Cheese Sales Manager, but also taught Brittany's cheese sensory course at UVM. Together, they embark on a journey through the world of Shelburne Farms' cheddar, tasting three remarkable varieties: 6-months aged, 2-years aged, and a clothbound style.
In this episode, the focus is not just on savoring these fine cheddars but also on exploring unconventional pairings. One unexpected twist they delve into is pairing the cheddars with Vermont's beloved maple syrup - also from Shelburne Farms! The surprising harmony between the tangy, citric cheddars and the sweet, golden maple syrup is a true pairing revelation.
Discover the characteristics of each cheese's flavor profile, the craftsmanship behind their creation, and the art of pairing them with delightful companions. Whether you're a seasoned cheese connoisseur or a novice looking to expand your palate, we can all agree that a little cheddar makes everything better.
