Crowley Cheese Factory

Healdville, VT - Crowley Cheese started in the Crowley Family kitchen in 1824. In 1882 Winfield Crowley built this factory which makes it the oldest cheese factory in America. The cheese the make is said to be like cheddar "without the bite". The FDA classifies it as Colby, but not yellow like in Wisconsin.


A worker is stirring the curd here.


Another worker is waxing a wheel of cheese, the mount the wheel on this crane and dip it into a vat of melted wax.

I think this is there "cellar" or maybe a drying room.


Samples of the cheese they make, stop in and try some.
