Harbison Born Of Experiment At Jasper Hill Farms

Vermont's Jasper Hill Farms has birthed so many sought-after cheeses that it hardly seems possible that the staff would have the creative energy to dream up another.

Enter Harbison, the newest member of the Jasper Hill family, a cow's milk cheese that debuted this summer and already looks like a success.

Even if you don't recognize the name Jasper Hill, you may have had some of this pioneering farm's cheeses, such as Bayley Hazen Blue, Constant Bliss and Winnimere. Jasper Hill also has a big hand in the award-winning Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, because it ages the wheels – made by a neighbor, the huge Cabot Creamery – in its underground caves.
