Jasper Hill Farm Withersbrook Blue

Running Low - we will fill orders as they arrive, but we may run out!

This curiously cube-shaped blue cheese from our dear friends at Jasper Hill Farm in Vermont is soaked in ice cider from local maker, Eden. The raw milk used to make this cheese comes from Jasper Hill’s own Andersonville herd of cows. Aged in their cellars for 4-8 months to develop a peachy-hued natural rind, the final flavor is complex with savory grassy/herbal notes and a lovely sweetness from both the rich milk and cider. We particularly love to enjoy this cheese after dinner, with a drizzle of caramel and a glass of Eden’s Vermont ice cider, of course.

 

Withersbrook Blue came 2nd place in the 'Best in Show' category at the American Cheese Society Annual Judging & Competition in 2025.

How much cheese should I buy?

We advise buying small quantities more frequently to avoid long term storage because the complex flavors and aromas of good cheese will change and degrade over time. For appetizer quantities and not much left over, we suggest 1/4 lb per person. For larger servings or if you'd like some left overs, we suggest a full 1/2 lb per person.

How should I serve my cheese?

You can serve any number of cheeses: a single magnificent chèvre or a large selection celebrating the diversity of aromas, flavors and textures found in various traditions around the world. Choose what you like and what you expect your audience will enjoy. We usually go for a selection of three to four cheeses with various milk types, textures and flavors.

Take your cheese out of the refrigerator an hour or so before serving. Just before serving, unwrap each cheese and scrape the cut surface with a knife edge to remove a thin layer. If you notice dried out parts or mold on the face of the cheese, cut it away.

Can I eat the rind?

Most cheeses have rinds and most rinds are edible. If you don’t like the taste or texture, cut it off.

What do I do about the mold on my cheese?

Cheese stored for some time may grow exterior molds. Typical molds will be white or blue-green but you can sometimes come across yellow or gray. Most of the time, you can refresh the cheese by cutting away those affected areas. The cheese underneath will be fine.

How do I store my cheese?

Store in a higher humidity area of your refrigerator - likely an enclosed spot which allows for limited airflow rather than constant drafts.

How do I wrap my cheese?

Use a clean wrap of the cheese paper, or, in a pinch use parchment (for softer cheeses) or aluminum foil (for firm to hard cheeses).

Enjoy!
