Featured Farmstead Cheese: Jasper Hill Moses Sleeper

Moses Sleeper by Jasper Hill Farm
A soft, brie-style cheese
Greensboro, VT
Moses Sleeper is a Jasper Hill Creamery original, inspired by classic, French Brie. This cheese’s historic namesake, Moses Sleeper, and his compatriot, Constant Bliss, were Revolutionary War scouts killed while defending a blockhouse along the Northeast Kingdom’s legendary Bayley Hazen Military Road.
Moses is an approachable and nuanced brie-style cheese. Beneath its thin, bloomy rind lies a gooey, milky core showing a complex array of flavors at peak ripeness: cauliflower, crème fraîche, and toasted nuts. A bright, clean finish with a hint of white mushroom aroma follows the rich flavors of the paste.

Cabot Clothbound is made by Cabot Creamery and matured 9-14 months in cellars at Jasper Hill Farm in Vermont. The milk comes from George Kempton’s Farm in Peacham, VT.

Clothbound is an award winning cheese, including American Cheese Society’s 2006 Best in Show.

Pasteurized Cow Milk, Clothbound Aged Cheddar.
Characteristics:
Approachable but complex natural-rind, bandaged cheddar with a crumbly texture and nutty aroma. Deeply savory and slightly tangy with caramel sweetness to the finish.

An off-dry sparkling apple cider, hoppy ale, or an oaked Cabernet Sauvignon.
