This unique cheese from Cato Corner is another winner for our palates! Pronounced Vee vah’ chay, this cheese is a cross between Emmental and Italian Provolone. Vivace has a supple texture with a medium bite and aromatic finish. Make this the star of your next cheese board and simply serve with your favorite charcuterie. Add a glass of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, or pilsner and you have appetizers for all or a light meal for two. Vivace also melts beautifully in cooking – try this in French onion soup or fondue. Aged 4 to 6 months.
Cato Corner Farm is a small family farm in Colchester, Connecticut, where the mother-son team of Elizabeth and Mark Cato raise 40 free-range Jersey cows without the use of hormones or subtherapeutic antibiotics. They make all of their cheese by hand with raw milk from their 40 cows and have been actively breeding for A2 kappa casein. Their cows graze freely so that they have happy lives with a rich diet of fresh pasture grasses. All the rinds of their cheeses are natural and have natural surface molds that are integral to developing the full flavor of the cheese. They age and care for the cheese in their underground cave, ripening all varieties to their peak of flavor.
