Thistle Hill Farm Tarentaise
is an aged alpine raw milk cheese handmade on the Putnam family farm in North Pomfret, Vermont, from the certified organic milk of their grass-fed Jersey cows. The cheese is made in the tradition of the Tarentaise Valley in the Savoie region of the French Alps. Tarentaise cheese is made with a copper vat using traditional methods reserved for the finest cheeses in the world. This unique cheese is smooth textured, subtly nut-flavored and naturally rinded. It is ideal both for the table and for melting. Thistle Hill Tarentaise cheese is available at fine food stores and can be ordered from the farm directly at www.ThistleHillFarm.com
