Summertomme (Willow Hill Farm, Milton, Vermont)

The unique maturing cave at Willow Hill is 2.5 metres (8 feet) underground and has a wall of natural bedrock that allows water to seep through the cracks, thus creating moisture and humidity in the air. This helps the rinds on their cheeses to develop beautiful moulds. This 225 g (8 oz) ewe’s milk cheese has a delicate crumbly texture with the sweet, earthy almost emulsified flavour mingling with the floral herb coating.
