The production of this cheese has ceased.
Woodlawn Creamery has taken over Consider Bardwell Farm's cow cheese business, but they haven't started making Dorset cheese, according to the Manchester Journal.
Made from raw Jersey cow milk, Dorset is a washed rind cheese crafted in the style of Italian Taleggio. Consider Bardwell Farm uses milk from the nearby Jersey Girl farm for this and all their other cow's milk cheeses. Dorset is a soft-ripening cheese with a firm orange basket-weave crust surrounding a rich, buttery bright yellow interior. Expect flavors that are mildly sharp, pungent, and intensely savory with undertones of nuts and hay. It is an elegant dessert cheese available only seasonally in 2.5-pound wheels. Dorset is an award-winning cheese, having won accolades at the 2008 American Cheese Society, the 2008 World Jersey Cheese Awards, and the 2010 World Cheese Championship.
