Vermont Creamery Is Bringing Big Spring Energy—One Cheese Board at a Time

Vermont Creamery Is Bringing Big Spring Energy—One Cheese Board at a Time

Spring tends to shift the way we build a cheese board, and this selection of Vermont Creamery cheeses fits right into that rhythm—brighter, fresher, and more lifted in character. It’s a mix of soft goat logs, balanced aged cheeses, and creamy essentials that feel made for the season.

Fresh Goat Logs

This is where Vermont Creamery leans into playful, seasonal flavor without overcomplicating things.

• Wild Blueberry, Lemon & Thyme Goat Log
  A little sweet, a little citrusy, and just herbal enough to feel like it belongs next to a patio spritz. This one practically asks for warm bread and sunlight.
• Herb Fresh Goat Log
  Classic, clean, and versatile. The kind of cheese that disappears fast because it works on everything from crackers to salads to that “just one more bite” moment before dinner even starts.
• Strawberry Spritz Goat Log
  Still holding its spring spotlight after its appearance in our rosé pairings feature. Fruity, light, and made for boards that are leaning picnic-meets-apéro hour.
• Clover Blossom Honey Fresh Goat Log
  Soft sweetness meets tangy goat cheese. This one plays especially well with fruit-forward boards and anything that wants a drizzle of honey without extra effort.

Aged Cheeses

Fresh cheeses bring the instant pop of brightness—these aged ones settle in a bit more, unfolding flavor gradually and rewarding a slower bite.

• Bonne Bouche
  Ash-ripened and unapologetically loved. Bonne Bouche—French for “Good Mouthful”—starts delicate but deepens into something creamier and more complex as it ages. It’s the cheese equivalent of letting the conversation linger a little longer than planned.
• Cremont
  A double-cream mixed milk beauty known as the “Cream of Vermont.” Soft-ripened with a smooth, luxurious interior and a delicate rind, it brings that melt-in-the-middle energy that makes any board feel elevated instantly.
• Coupole
  Named for its snow-dome shape, this aged goat’s milk cheese is all about contrast. A wrinkly rind with bold ripened flavor on the outside, and a fresh, bright interior that keeps things surprisingly light. It’s drama in the best way.

Crème Fraîche

Rich, cultured, slightly tangy—this is the wildcard that pulls everything together. Spoon it onto warm bread, swirl it into fruit, or let it sit next to roasted nuts and call it intentional styling.

Spring Board Pairings

This is where the board starts to feel like a farmer’s market that decided to get a little extra.

• Crackers & Bread:
  Thin water crackers, seeded crisps, or a fresh baguette—simple carriers that let the cheese do the talking.
• Spring Produce:
  Crisp radishes with a pinch of salt, shaved raw or lightly buttered
  Asparagus, lightly sautéed in butter and finished with lemon—warm, bright, and surprisingly perfect next to creamy cheeses
  Tender snap peas or thinly sliced cucumbers for extra crunch and freshness
  Even blanched spring onions or ramps if you’re leaning into full seasonal mode
• Fruit (go beyond the basics):
  Strawberries
  Green grapes for balance
  Sliced pears for mellow sweetness
  Apricots or peaches when they start showing up early season
  Cherries for a slightly deeper, juicier bite
  Citrus segments (especially grapefruit or orange) to cut through richer cheeses
• Meats:
  Prosciutto, soppressata, or a mild salami—salty, silky, and built for creamy goat cheese
• Nuts:
  Marcona almonds, pistachios, or candied walnuts for texture and a little sweet crunch
• Extras:
  Honey drizzle, fig jam, lemon curd, and edible flowers.
