Featured Farmstead Cheese: Jasper Hill Winnimere

Winnimere by Jasper Hill Farm
Award-winning Washed Rind Soft Cheese
Greensboro, VT
WINNIMERE is a take on Jura Mountain classics like Vacherin Mont d’Or or Försterkäse. In keeping with tradition, this decadent cheese is made only during winter months when Jasper Hill’s Ayrshire cows are giving rich, hay-fed raw milk. Winnimere is named for the corner of Caspian Lake where the Kehlers’ grandfather had an ice fishing shack.
SENSORY NOTES – Young cheeses are wrapped in strips of spruce cambium, the tree’s flexible inner bark layer, harvested from Jasper Hill Farm’s woodlands. During aging, the cheese is washed in a cultured salt brine to help even rind development. At 60 days, this cheese is spoonably soft and tastes of bacon, sweet cream, and spruce.
PAIRING AND SERVICE – Winnimere is best enjoyed by peeling a way a bit of the top rind and diving in with spoon and some friends. If portioning for retail, an effort should be made to sell the remainder of the wheel before day’s end. Pair with a smoky, meaty red wine or porter-style beer alongside some Vermont whey-fed bacon.
Winner of American Cheese Society’s ‘Best in Show’ Award, 2013

SilverTek’s Nano Fit Masks – with the fit & filtration capacity of a double-mask built-in

Understanding double masking
Double masking is a trending topic that has brought awareness to the main stream that regular cloth masks (and surgical masks) alone are not always sufficient protection. Walter Stewart’s has Silvertek’s NanoFit Masks in stock – with the fit and filtration capacity of a double-mask already built in. SilverTek started creating their mask prior to the pandemic, and as such they had many months to research and properly think through its design. That is why it is:
◼️Scientifically-vetted and environmentally-certified
◼️FDA-listed
◼️Fits properly (no gaps or air leaks, staying on the face)
◼️Has advanced nanofiber filtration (longer lasting than surgical masks and N95s) which functions like a built-in double mask.
In addition, the NanoFit is made from three layers of antimicrobial fabric specifically spec’d for masks. Combined with the insertable 4-layer nanofiber filter, the NanoFit provides 7 total layers of protection.
We greatly care about the sustainability aspect of this situation as well. 🌏 Globally, 129 billion disposable masks are being discarded every month. Surgical masks are made of plastic (not paper) and are significantly contributing to the plastic pollution crisis.
With more people upgrading to a SilverTek mask, they will properly protect both themselves and our planet!
WSM also offers SilverTek’s STOGO All-Day antimicrobial gloves. Multi-functional and touchscreen friendly.  ViralOff® reduces SARS-COV-2 by 99% on the gloves within two hours, meeting the ISO 18184:2019 standard (Determination of antiviral activity of textile products).

Jasper Hill Farms Willoughby Cheese

This week we are showcasing Willoughby cheese by Jasper Hill Creamery in Greensboro, VT. This succulent, buttery washed-rind cheese is an original creation of Marisa Mauro’s Ploughgate Creamery, a Cellars collaborator that ceased production of the cheese after a creamery fire in 2011. With Marisa’s blessing Jasper Hill resurrected this pudgy little washed-rind and have continued to develop the recipe at Jasper Hill Creamery.
Willoughby 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 earthy dimension to the texture and flavors of the gooey interior.
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.

CHALLERHOCKER Washed Rind Swiss Cheese | Kaserei Tufertschwil, St. Gallen, Switzerland

Walter Rass, the cheese maker from for Kaserei Tufertschwil in the Canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland, uses his years of experience crafting Appenzellar to create an original variation of the time honored favorite: Chällerhocker. By altering the cook temperature, making his own rennet, and using unskimmed milk, Rass presses the curds into molds and allows them to rest a day before initiating the washing process.
Chällerhocker translates roughly to ‘sitting in the cellar,’ which is exactly where Ross keeps the cheese to age. For at least 10 months the cheese matures on wooden planks, each wheel carefully turned and brushed with Rass’ perfected brine.
Due to Its repeated washings, Challerhocker has a slightly tacky rind and smells of peanuts. The paste is firm and smooth, dense enough to be deemed fudgy, with an aroma of brown butter and cashews, and lingering flavors of malt and caramel.
TYPE Cooked/pressed Washed rind
MILK Unpasteurized cow Brown Swiss/Braunvvieh 13 contributing herds (1 herd Simmental)
