Family-run Boston Post Dairy is set in Enosburg Falls, Vermont, along the Missisquoi River, with a view of Jay Peak. The farm is named after the Old Boston Post Stagecoach Road, which runs right through the property. Robert and Gisele Gervais have been farming since 1962, along with their family of fifteen children. In 2007 they bought the dairy with their four daughters Anne, Theresa, Susan, and Annette, and they’ve since added a cheesemaking facility and a small retail store to sell the cheeses, goat milk soaps, maple syrups, and bakery items which are all made on the farm.
This is a fresh chèvre mixed with a maple cream, which is made right on the farm from the family’s own Vermont maple syrup.
Tasting Notes
Smelling of milk and maple sugar, this is a delightful, creamy, fluffy cheese with a perfect balance of sweetness and a fresh goat tang. The round, warm maple flavors are a perfect contrast with the chèvre, and the texture is decadent and fluffy, reminiscent of cream cheese frosting.
Pairings
Slather this on top of a toasted bagel or a lemon cookie.
