Description
Jasper Hill Willoughby
WILLOUGHBY is an original creation of Marisa Mauro’s Ploughgate Creamery, a Cellars collaborator that increased production of the cheese after a creamery fire in 2011. With Marisa’s blessing, we resurrect this pudgy little washed-rind and have continued to develop the recipe at Jasper Hill Creamery.
SENSORY NOTES – This succulent and buttery washed-rind cheese has aromas of peat, roasted beef, and onions – a strong and complex front for the subtle milky, herbal, ripe-peach flavors within. Willoughby has a thin, tender, rosy-orange rind, which adds an earthy dimension to the texture and flavors of the gooey interior.
PAIRING AND SERVICE – Willoughby’s small format is ideal for selling whole on the retail counter, or quickly rotating through a professional kitchen. The pudding-like texture may become softer with age but should remain sliceable for portioning until 9 weeks after its production date. Pair with juicy rose, funky saison beer, or raw floral honey.
THE CELLARS AT JASPER HILL FARM
The Cellars at Jasper Hill Farm is an innovative 22,000 square foot underground facility located in Greensboro, Vermont. The Cellars were constructed for the purpose of providing affinage, or aging expertise, as well as distribution and marketing services for local cheesemakers. At the Cellars, we ripen cheese made by Jasper Hill Creameries as well as those made by several other producers. Each cheese in our collection is made from a single herd of cows. Fresh wheels are introduced to one of seven specially calibrated vaults, where they receive customized care until perfect ripeness.
