Jasper Hill Farm - Harbison mini (Vermont, 5 oz)

Jasper Hill Farm | Harbison Mini | Vermont, USA

Vermont cheesemakers have better things to do than imitate Europe — they innovate upon it. Harbison is the proof. At its heart it is a classic soft-ripened cheese, rich with mushroom, roasted root vegetable, and forest floor flavors. But Jasper Hill wraps it in a band of spruce bark harvested from the woods surrounding their Greensboro farm, and that changes everything. The bark lends a gentle earthiness and a whisper of smoke to the finish, and it holds the cheese together as it ripens into something almost spoonable.

The mini format is perfectly sized for one or two people — or for one person who doesn't want to share. Let it come fully to room temperature, slice off the top rind, and go in with baguette shards, flatbreads, or crudité. The spruce bark keeps it contained and makes for a beautiful presentation straight from the box.

"A classic brie, full of mushroom-ey and roasted root vegetable flavors, wrapped in spruce bark — which yields a gently earthy, even smoky finish."
— Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger | 67 Gourmet
