Is the kosher market ripe for an artisanal cheddar cheese?
Foodie Mark Bodzin of Highland Park dreams of all kinds of food and wine — cheese in particular. However, he has a challenge — he is an observant Jew and the available kosher cheese generally does not meet his exacting personal standards.
So Bodzin has sought out companies to produce a high-quality kosher cheddar, finally settling on Shelburne Farms, a 1,400-acre working farm and nonprofit educational center in Shelburne, Vt., which already makes award-winning cheddar.
He started an on-line campaign on Kickstarter, which as of the evening of Feb. 17 had raised $4,903 of the $16,000 he must reach by March 26. If he raises the full amount, the company will do a day’s run of 600 pounds of cheddar to test the kosher market.
