Jasper Hill Farm Blue Withersbrook Cider Cheese, 4 lb

Jasper Hill Farm's Blue Withersbrook Cider Cheese is a testament to the innovative spirit of Vermont’s artisanal cheesemakers. Crafted by hand in the lush, rolling hills of the Northeast Kingdom, this blue cheese is uniquely washed in local cider, imparting a subtle sweetness and a nuanced, fruity complexity that sets it apart from traditional blue cheeses. The careful balance between the earthy tang of blue veining and the gentle acidity of cider creates a profile that is both bold and approachable, making it a standout addition to any cheese board or culinary repertoire.

The texture of Blue Withersbrook Cider Cheese is creamy yet crumbly, with pockets of blue mold that offer a gentle piquancy without overwhelming the palate. As you slice into the wheel, aromas of orchard fruit and fresh cream emerge, hinting at the cider-washed rind’s influence. This cheese melts beautifully into sauces, crumbles elegantly over salads, and stands up well to robust accompaniments like toasted walnuts or poached pears.

For a memorable tasting experience, serve Blue Withersbrook Cider Cheese alongside ripe figs, crusty sourdough bread, and a glass of dry hard cider or a bold red wine. Its balance of sweet and savory notes makes it equally at home on a festive holiday platter or as the centerpiece of an intimate evening with friends. Jasper Hill Farm’s dedication to quality and local character shines through in every bite of this exceptional blue cheese.
