Solidago
Each wheel is made by hand, and every wedge is cut and packed by hand — so listed weights are approximate, and your actual weight may vary slightly.
A mild and creamy cheese with an orange-pink washed rind infused with saffron.
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”.
