Cindy Callahan, a nurse by training, was in her 50s when she first began raising sheep as a way to keep pasture grasses under control. She soon began milking her flock, and before long, her son Liam joined her as a cheesemaker. Today, Bellwether Farms makes an array of fresh and aged Italian-style sheep and cow's milk cheeses.
Made from pasteurized Jersey cow milk, Carmody is a firm and golden cheese that rolls smoothly over the tongue with a buttery intensity -- it is a cheese meant to showcase the high quality of the milk. As it ages, Carmody turns over a sweet and surprising caramelized undertone.
