Jasper Hill Farm
pronounced "har-buh-son"
| The Harbison Mini, a 5-ounce soft-ripened cheese from Jasper Hill Farm in Vermont, is wrapped in spruce cambium that imparts woodsy flavors and acts as a structural "corset" to contain its spoonable, custard-like paste. Made from pasteurized Ayrshire cow milk using traditional animal rennet, it ripens in the controlled Cellars at Jasper Hill for 6–13 weeks. The terroir, microbial ecology, and precise enzymatic processes create a rich, complex flavor profile featuring sweet cream, fungal, and botanical notes. The Mini’s higher surface-to-volume ratio intensifies spruce character and accelerates aging, making it a distinct, culturally rooted artisanal product. | |
