What is the history of Cabot cheese?
It got green in John Cabot's shoes Interesting claim, but I
think I have a more accurate answer: Cabot Creamery, the makers of
Cabot cheese, got its start in 1919, when a bunch of dairy farmers
from the Cabot area (in Vermont) got together, pooled their
resources, and formed a cooperative. They each contributed some
money (to build their processing center) and started taking their
extra milk, and turning it into butter, which they were able to
sell around Vermont, and eventually, throughout New England. Later
the farmers decided to expand their cooperative effort to produce
other products--most famously, cheese--and thus the delicious Cabot
cheese that we know today got its start. For a more literal
translation, (what is the history of the Extra Sharp Cabot Cheddar
that I just bought in the store?) you're going to need to refer to
some cheese-makers; there is milk and separation and aging in
warehouses and taste testers and all kinds of logistical nubbies
that I just am not an expert on. Good luck :)
