cheesenotes: Murray’s Cheese calls Vermont Shepherd the “Unicorn Cheese” — in reference to the difficulty of acquiring this small-batch, seasonally produced cheese. Major Farm, the makers of the Vermont Shepherd, actually produces two cheeses, a “summer”, raw sheeps-milk cheese called Verano and a “winter”, mixed sheep and cow’s milk cheese called Invierno. As one might expect, the summer cheeses tend to be sweeter, richer and grassier while the winter cheeses are stronger, spicier and richer. This wedge came from a Verano. David Major, the farmer and cheesemaker behind Vermont Shepherd, is a bit of a legend in the cheese world. As one of the first of the new wave of sheep’s milk cheesemakers in Vermont, he has been key, both as a producer and as a community and industry leader, in making that state the sheep’s milk cheese leader that it is today. After purchasing the farm from his parents, David and his wife and business partner at the time, Cynthia (Cindy), spent the early 90’s struggling — and often failing — to transform their milk into a quality cheese, before traveling to the Basque Pyrenees and working with French shepherds and fromagers to learn the art and science of the legendary cheese of that region, Ossau-Iraty. By immersing themselves in the day to day lives of Basque shepherds and cheesemakers, in an environment that resembled the rolling hills of Vermont, they got a crash course both in the science and craft of cheesemaking and in the ecology of living with sheep and producing a local product. That trip was essential to their evolution and led to their finally producing the first wheels of the cheese that would put them on the map and win them awards, the Vermont Shepherd. They were also one of the first to dig a european style cave into the side of a hill on their property (which can now handle around 40,000 lbs of cheese per season) and were key in the founding of the short-lived but influential Vermont Shepherd Guild, which sought to provide education, resources and community to sheep’s milk cheesemakers in Vermont.  In her book, The Life of Cheese, author Heather Paxson devotes much of the chapter on “Ecologies of Production” to the time she spent on the Major farm, making cheese and learning about the economies, ecologies and culture of the Vermont Shepherd brand.  Inspired by the French brebis cheeses of the Pyrenees mountains, the Verano’s distinctive “UFO” shape (similar to a Berkswell and other traditional cheeses) comes from the colanders-style molds with angled sides in which the cheese is molded and flipped (I know for a long time they used actual colanders, I’m not sure if they have since moved on to commercially produced cheese molds). With a golden brown and stony rind, rough textured and a bit dusty, the Verano has a sweet, milky and a little bit gamey aroma. The firm, dense paste is smooth and creamy in texture. The flavor is rich, sweet and earthy, with notes of toasted nuts, wonderfully herbaceous and spicy, with a tangy finish and a wonderful, velvety mouthfeel.  Purchased at Murray’s Cheese.
