A jasper hill creamery original, inspired by the classic, mid-elevation mountain cheeses of europe. This raw milk cheese is made from jasper hill farm’s own grass-fed cows. While wheels ripen in the cellars, they are washed with a mixture of morge—a naturally cultured brine­—and spent yeast from locally made natural wine. This treatment brings a floral funk to the rich but mellow paste. Tasting notes range from light floral and fruit tones with savory, toasted nut and baked cheese flavors. The rind is a rosy orange-pink while the paste develops small eyes and a pliable, giving texture. Pair with a cold-climate unfiltered white wine with bracing acidity like la garagista’s ci confonde or a grüner veltliner. Gherkins are a promising accoutrement and sweet, musty cured meats like bresaola are surefire hits. Ingredients: raw cow milk, salt, rennet, cultures. Non-gmo verified. (cows are grazed / fed locally harveseted dry hay, supplemented with a non-gmo grain ration.)
