Now world-famous for its Vermont Cheddars and other fine dairy products, Cabot Creamery was founded in 1919 as a cooperative of 94 farmers in this region of northern Vermont. Originally, Cabot only produced butter due to the poor refrigeration of the times. However, as refrigeration technology improved, Cabot was able to supply fluid milk to bottlers in southern New England and began making cheese in 1930.
Cabot's world-class cheese making facilities now produce many types of Cheddar, Monterey Jack , Cottage Cheese, and many lower-fat and flavored varieties. Fine-aged Cheddars, such as their Private Stock and Vintage Choice (hand selected by Cabot's President), routinely win awards in national and international cheese competitions. Their new line of flavored Cheddars includes Tomato/Basil, Garlic and Herb, Habanero, Chipotle, and Horseradish.
The plant in Cabot, Vermont offers tours of its facility, has a retail shop and ships mail orders. Visitors on their way to Stowe will also find the Cabot Annex on Route 100 in nearby Waterbury. Additionally, the Cabot Quechee Store is open just off of Exit 1 of Interstate-89. Cabot products are sold nation-wide, and found in most retail supermarkets
