America's First Cheese!

Crowley Cheese began in Winfield Crowley's kitchen in 1824 and the Crowley Cheese Factory, built in 1882, is the oldest, continuously operated cheese factory in America and is the only remaining original Vermont Cheese. Today, Crowley Cheese continues to make their cheese by hand, in small batches, so you can enjoy them just the way Winfield Crowley intended.

Award-winning Crowley Cheese has been made in the Green Mountains of Vermont from the same recipe, in the same manner, since 1824. Hand-made the old-fashioned way, it’s cheese the way it used to be -- all natural, with no additives or preservatives. Pure, simple, delicious: cheese that everyone will love.

All-natural Crowley Cheese is made by hand from fresh, whole, unpasteurized milk without additives or preservatives. Our milk comes from cows certified BST and BGH free. With a distinctively smooth, creamy texture, Crowley Cheese is often compared to a cheddar “without the bite.”

There’s only one way to make such a fine cheese: by hand. While other cheesemakers have gone high-tech, Crowley has resolutely stuck to the hand tools and traditional methods first used by company founder Winfield Crowley.
