Willow Hill Wins at World Cheese Awards




We are excited to announce that our new cheese, Butternut, (which husband named due to its butter-y and nutty flavor profile) just won a medal at the World Cheese Awards in Dublin, Ireland. With 2400 entries from every cheese making nation, Butternut made its long trip from Milton, Vermont to New York where it was consolidated with others en route to Dublin. There it was most likely lifted, sniffed, tasted while the judges chewed along thru the other 2399.........

Butternut is an Alpine style semifirm cow's milk cheese plank aged in our underground cave here on the farm. Quite an honor as it was included with other Alpine style cheeses in Europe where they reign in this category!
