Crowley Cheese is a venerable Vermont artisanal brand, started in the Crowley family’s farm kitchen  in 1824, using an original American recipe. Crowley is still made today in much the same way as it was then. A semi-firm cheese that resembles a Cheddar, Crowley is made using a rinsed curd process that results in a sweeter, creamier cheese with a distinctive open texture. Crowley Cheese has been lauded frequently in magazine articles and books about American artisanal cheeses and was recently featured in Yankee Magazine's “Best of New England” section (May/June 2011).

Crowley Cheese can be sampled at the Crowley Cheese Factory, the country’s oldest continuously  operating cheese factory, a National Historic Place, in picturesque Healdville, Vermont, and at farmer’s markets and shows and festivals throughout the state. Crowley also participates in the Vermont Cheesemakers’ Festival (July 24), the Fancy Food Show in Washington, DC, in July, and the annual American Cheese Society meeting in Montreal in August.
