Solidago

A mild and creamy cheese with an orange-pink washed rind infused with saffron.

~8 oz wedge.

We try our best to to keep our wedges as close to 0.5 lbs each. Due to the variations when hand cutting and sealing, your wedge could be between 0.45-0.55 lb.

Flavor & Pairings

A versatile table cheese thanks to its mild and creamy character. Smear it on a crusty bread and enjoy it with a Vermont IPA!

The Rind

The pinkish-golden color is achieved by washing the wheels with a saffron-infused brine. The rind aroma is mild.

The Paste

The paste is creamy with an open texture and can vary from white to golden. The color variation is dictated by whether the cows were on fresh pastures rich in beta-carotene in the summer months or dried hay in the winter months.

Behind the Name

One of our favorite memories from moving to Vermont was the yellow glow of goldenrod that attracted pollinators of all kinds and lit up the landscape in early fall. The scientific name of goldenrod, “Solidago,” also means “to become whole”. 

Ingredients
