This raw cow's milk cheese is made by Gail Holmes at the Cobb Hill coopertive in Hartland, Vermont. The milk comes from about 30 Jersey milkers that are very well cared for by the entire community; through the winter the animals eat hay that has been harvested from the farm's pesticide-free fields and stored in a dry hayloft (not plastic bags).
Made in the alpine style, Ascutney Mountain has a clean, hard rind and a smooth semi-firm interior with a stunning dandelion-yellow color. Depending on its age, the cheese can have flavors ranging from yogurty to intensely nutty to savory cooked mushrooms. Always, though, the finish is long and fruity -- a characteristic that makes this cheese a great match for our housemade pates or a garlicy salami, all washed down with a lager or ale.
