Kaas by Cass, independently owned and operated by Patty Scholten, is a maker of delicious soft ripened cheese made with 100% certified organic cow's milk. This organic cow's milk is all produced by the Scholten Organic Dairy, owned by Roger and Patty Scholten. The whole family is involved in running the farm. The Scholtens promote farming in a manner that improves and sustains the environment, practices good animal husbandry, and upholds personal values where family comes first. Roger and Patty Scholten's farm is the home of a small herd of Dutch Belt cows and Holstein-Friesian cows (both breeds native to the Netherlands). The word "Kaas" is the Dutch word for cheese, and Cass is Patty's maiden name. Patty makes the cheese in a newly built cheese house right on the farm, and sells a portion of it at the Middlebury Farmer's Market. The rest is sold to Black River Produce, which will distribute the cheese throughout Vermont.

Many people have never heard of a "soft-ripened cheese." Kaas by Cass soft-ripened cheese has a taste and texture similar to a chèvre -smooth and white, in rounded molds, yet made with 100% organic cow's milk. This cheese is excellent served as a spread for crackers. It is the perfect snack at any time and a tasteful addition to any wine and cheese party or any delectable occasion. You and your guests will rave over the flavor of Kaas by Cass cheese.
