Cellars at Jasper Hill Farms

We sampled some fantastic cheeses! They have the cheddar that I had read about in Cooks Illustrated, which was really delicious. Wish we would have access to a refrigerator over the next 1.5 weeks, ’cause we could have bought some of this great cheese!

CELLARS AT JASPER HILL ( Unilocal, please change incorrect name above!)
For me, this is the single most exciting addition to the brand new indoor BOSTON PUBLIC MARKET.
Jasper Hill Farms of Vermont is one of America’s (if not the World’s) great cheesemakers, and they are now offering their amazing cheeses for sale directly in Boston in the only locally sourced market of its kind in the US (everything offered at BPM is sourced from New England). A match made in heaven!
Be sure to try their rightly famous Bayley Hazen Blue (a raw cow milk natural rind blue cheese), which won Best Unpasteurized Cheese at the 2014 World Cheese Awards in London.
I also love their raw milk, bloomy rind Constant Bliss cheese, which is named for a scout in Washington’s army during the Revolutionary War. Unfortunately, thanks to evil fun-​squashers the FDA who are terrified of a bacteria’s shadow, it is no longer being produced (raw milk aged under 60 days).
And, BTW, at Boston Public Market, they make a damn fine grilled cheese sandwich too (and a few other items like potato raclette, mac n’ cheese and custom cheese platters).
The grilled cheese is made with their Alpha Tolman, a raw cow milk cheese in the Appenzeller style aged for 8 – 12 months. Buttery and nutty, crisp and melty, this is an excellent grilled cheese sandwich (although if I were making this at home, I’d pile on a bit more cheese so it was more oozy).
Be prepared to wait for your sandwich, it takes a while, so order it first and then taste test some of the other cheeses while you wait. I dare you to not buy some to take home! The cheesemonger lady is delightful (although the chef is too busy to talk, and the guy at the cash register needs to work on his social skills).
3 hr parking for only $ 3 dollars upstairs in the BPM building (needs validation from a vendor). Also next to the Haymarket outdoor farmer’s market and a short walk to Boston’s North End (head to Maria’s Pastry Shop to get a cannoli for dessert!).

What is there to say?
This is one of the best producers of cheese that I have ever tasted.
After sampling 90% of their offerings and talking in depth with the woman working the case, I went with some Bayley Hazen Blue, their outrageously creamy blue cheese which won the award for «Best in the World,» a bit of Harbison – their version of a Brie like spreadable, and a size able chunk of Kinsman Ridge which is hard to describe but it’s a mellow medium hard to harder soft sliceable cheese.
$ 45 later, it all went proof inside of 2 days.
My only complaint is if I went as often as I would like, I would go broke because of this crack cheese it is that addictive. Oh my.
Go.
Try some samples.
(Good luck) Make a decision knowing you probably can’t buy it all.
Pray you don’t develop cravings like mine.
Btw, they also sell some hot food items like Mac n cheese and grilled cheese. I didn’t try them since the cheese counter ate all my money, but they looked fantastic!!!
Go.
You’re welcome.
