Since Nick Savasta and his husband John Howard bought Cheese & Wine Traders<\/a> in 2015, their mission has stayed the same: to provide the best customer service while highlighting Vermont\u2019s community. \u201cWe’re passionate about what’s made in Vermont and its makers, and always prioritize shelf space for local products first,\u201d says Savasta. \u201cThe people and our community value small businesses that feature local makers on their shelves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shop first opened back in 1991 under Nancy Wright and Steve Lidle. As the third set of owners, Savasta and Howard have helped the shop grow over the years. \u201cWe\u2019ve expanded our cheese offerings by about 25%,\u201d says Savasta. \u201cWe also renovated The Cheese Shop to better serve customers and started offering custom cuts in 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n

Located on Williston Road makes a difference, too, as it\u2019s one of the busiest in South Burlington and brings in people from all over. \u201cIt\u2019s halfway between downtown Burlington and Burlington International Airport,\u201d says Savasta. “Making it the perfect spot for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

This raw cow milk cheese is made locally on a farm in Greensboro, Vermont. Aged 3-4 months, the texture is both thick and creamy with a nutty flavor. It is one of the most popular types of cheese in the shop because of its accessibility. \u201cIt goes well on a cheese board, on top of a salad, or is perfect for a snack,\u201d says Savasta. \u201cIt\u2019s a great starter blue cheese for folks who may be hesitant to try a blue,\u201d Savasta says. He also explains it pairs well with anything from a cabernet, riesling, or a stout.<\/p>\n

Original Plymouth 1 Year Cheddar Waxed Block<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This raw cheddar is made from a local cheese factory in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. It\u2019s an old-world recipe from the Coolidge family who started its factory in the 1800s, topping it as one of the oldest in the nation. The cheese has been aged for a year and offers a sharp flavor that lasts. As a top choice for the store\u2019s gift baskets, Savasta says this cheese is \u201cperfect anytime, anywhere, with anything,\u201d including being \u201csuper delicious with an ale, sour, or IPA.”<\/p>\n

This cow milk cheese is one of the shop\u2019s \u201cabsolute favorite soft cheeses,\u201d says Savasta. It\u2019s made locally on a third-generation family farm an hour from the shop and is named after the Mt. Alice peak that hovers over the farm. It is \u201csoft-ripened,\u201d says Savasta, and has a \u201cbloomy fluffy rind with a creamy texture\u201d and an earthy mushroom flavor making it ideal with a hard cider.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
