Jasper Hill Withersbrook Blue

Withersbrook Blue is an ice cider soaked, natural rind blue cheese made with raw milk from our

own herd. The name comes from a winding forest brook that originates near our creamery in

Greensboro and meanders through the sugarbush alongside our pastures.

This curious cube spends 60 days maturing in the Cellars at Jasper Hill where it develops distinctive

veins of blue flora. From there, we load the cheese into a pouch along with a hearty pour of Eden

Ice Cider. This sweet libation is crafted from locally grown apple cider that has been stored outside

for a freezing Vermont winter. A spring thaw releases the juice’s sugars, leaving the water behind

in order to concentrate the apple’s essence. The fermented result yields a delicious dessert cider

with a bright acidity that mingles elegantly with the cheese.

Withersbrook has a fruity, lactic profile with notes of honey

and roasted hazelnuts followed by a lingering savory

finish. The richly dense texture and elegant complexity

would unfurl upon a thyme and pepper crusted ribeye.

For an after-dinner treat, pour a glass of Vermont Ice Cider

and enjoy another wedge with dulce de leche.
