| Whitney is a raw cow milk Raclette-style cheese from Jasper Hill Farm in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, emphasizing a "Taste of Place" philosophy tied to local geology, climate, and microbiota. Made exclusively from the Andersonville Herd’s raw milk, it uses traditional "Sax Rennet" and is aged 3–6 months in specialized cellars. It has a semi-firm, velvety texture with 38–42% moisture, designed for melting without breaking. Its complex flavor profile includes toasted nuts, cured ham, and fruity rind notes enhanced by a wine lees brine. Whitney won Best in Show at the 2022 American Cheese Society Competition, highlighting its artisanal quality and terroir-driven identity. | |
