Tasting with Castleton Crackers
April, 2009
This slightly sweet cracker hints at maple and pairs well with sharp cheddar, brie or a tangy goat’s cheese. Some even enjoy Middlebury Maple crackers with yogurt at breakfast or with a bowl of Butternut Squash soup.
Ingredients: Unbleached white flour, whole wheat flour, buttermilk, unsalted butter, Vermont maple syrup, Vermont maple sugar, baking soda, kosher salt. Processed in a facility that uses nuts.
A hearty crunchy cracker topped with caraway, sesame and poppy seeds, creates a unique whole grain treat. Rutland Rye compliments most cheese and gets rave reviews dipped into creamy hummus or when served alongside a Lentil soup.

A buttery, more neutral cracker that is slightly salty rounds out cheese plates wonderfully. Try Windham Wheat crackers served with farmstead cheeses and apple chutney or any hearty chowder.
