Sambal Cheddar (Vermont)
Our fan favorite spicy Sambal Cheddar is back! We've been waiting to get our hands on this fiery Indonesian pepper relish to mix into the curds of our creamy, raw milk cheddar. The result is a rich cheese marbled with bright chilies–savory, sharp and totally addictive. Sambal (saam-baal) is an Indonesian pepper relish that originated in the 16th Century. Made simply from fresh chilies, vinegar, and salt, we love this spicy, fruity heat draped over roasted potatoes, atop a burger with a slice of juicy heirloom tomato, or melted in a grilled cheese with a crispy, lacy cheese "skirt". Pair with a hazy IPA, dry riesling, or a tropical cocktail to balance the heat.

The Plymouth Cheese Factory was built in 1890 by Col. John Coolidge, a dairy farmer, looking to extend the shelf life of his milk.
Not much has changed since those days. The cheese factory is the same today as it was back then. Recipe and all.
Calvin Coolidge was born and raised in Plymouth. He was sworn in as 30th President of the U.S.A. in the middle of the night in 1923 at his childhood home.
First Lady Grace Coolidge initiated preservation of the factory. It became a very popular tourist destination, even throughout the Great Depression.
In 1998, John Coolidge sold the cheese factory to the state of Vermont with the understanding that cheese would continue to be made there as long as the building was standing.
In 2009, cheesemaker Jesse Werner submitted a proposal to revive the Plymouth Cheese Factory and the original 1890’s granular curd cheddar recipe. Jesse had attended the Vermont Institute of Artisanal Cheese (VIAC) at the University of Vermont, and also apprenticed with the renowned Québécois cheesemaker, Marc Andre St. Yves. When his proposal was accepted, Jesse jumped at the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream.
