Cellars at Jasper Hill Gift Crate

Share a taste of Vermont's finest cheeses with this gift crate from Jasper Hill Creameries. Handcrafted by farmstead cheesemakers, these three distinctive cow's milk cheeses are aged with care by the Cellars at Jasper Hill, an artisanal cheese partnership that creates sustainable business opportunities for local dairy farmers. They arrive packaged for giving in a wooden crate, along with locally made apricot preserves, lavish crackers and roasted maple nuts.

Alpha Tolman: A firm cheese with a mottled brown rind, a nutty, savory, flavor and a dense, creamy texture. (6 oz.)

Bayley Hazen Blue: Jasper Hill Farm's flagship cheese, this is a creamy, mildly sweet and salty blue made from the raw milk of Ayrshire cows. (8 oz.)

Cabot Clothbound Cheddar: An English-style aged cheddar with notes of caramel and a unique crystalline texture. It's from Marcel Gravel and May Leach of Cabot Creamery. (6 oz.)

Brewer's Crackers Flatbreads: Crunchy flatbread crackers made with spent brewers grains and a light dusting of sea. (4 oz.)

Blake Hill Apricot Preserves: A custom-made preserve made especially to pair with Jasper Hill Farm’s Alpha Tolman cheese – apricots blended with oranges and raw honey. (10 oz.)

Receiving Instructions

• The cheeses are shipped chilled with ice packs; refrigerate upon receipt. It is best stored in a vegetable bin or container away from the refrigerator fan. Unopened, it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. We recommend leaving the cheese in the packaging as it comes to room temperature, to prevent oxidation, which may affect the flavor. Cut and set out only as much cheese as you plan to serve, returning the rest to the refrigerator.
• Store preserves in the refrigerator after opening.

Serving Instructions

• To experience the cheese's full flavor, serve at room temperature. For optimal flavor and texture, bring the cheeses to room temperature for approx. 1 hour prior to serving. Leftover cheese is best re-wrapped in parchment or waxed paper. Plastic wrap is not recommended. It is best to consume the cheese within one to two weeks of receipt.
