Harbison is made from the milk of Jasper Hill's own herd of Ayrshire cows. It is a spruce- bark wrapped bloomy-rind cheese with a spoonable, rich creamy and addictive paste. Its flavors are woodsy, vegetal and mustardy and finish with a hint of sweet cream. To serve, go in from the top by cutting part of the top rind off and spooning out the paste.
Please note: It is normal for the spruce bark to be mottled with white, blue and green molds. You can leave as is or wipe the bark off with a soft cloth.

Cato Corner Farm makes all their cheese by hand with raw milk from their forty-five cows, mostly Jerseys, on their small Connecticut farm. Their herd grazes freely, enjoying a rich diet of fresh pasture grasses, local hay, and a small number of grains. We've been working with Cato Corner Farm for over ten years, and their rustic, handmade farmhouse cheeses are staples in our shops.
Dutch Farmstead has a natural rind with a semi-soft texture, milky flavor, and a nice acidic tang. Dutch is terrific on a cheese board but also great in the kitchen. Try it in a mac & cheese or a grilled cheese sandwich.
Farm/Producer/Importer: Cato Corner Farm/Mark Gilman

We work closely with cheese selector and importer Essex St. Cheese to source this incredibly aged gouda. The cheese is produced in northern Holland by the Cono Co-op and then is aged by affineur and cheesemonger Betty Koster. Betty ages these wheels at a slightly warmer temperature than typically aged gouda. The result is a deep flavor, plenty of tyrosine crunch (proteins) and a texture that is not too dry and brittle. It is creamy with distinctive hazelnut flavor and deep caramel notes.
