Cellars At Jasper Hill Wins 'Super Gold' For Bayley Hazen Blue

The results from this year's World Cheese Awards are in! Of the 10 cheeses we entered in this year's contest, 7 took home medals, including a "Super Gold" for Bayley Hazen Blue. This puts Bayley among 62 such winners among over 2700 entries. Bayley Hazen Blue was also dubbed "World's Best Unpasteurized Cheese", a title that we're usually too modest to bestow ourselves, but it sure sounds good coming from a panel of internationally-acclaimed judges. Our winners this year are: 

• Bayley Hazen Blue – Super Gold and World's Best Unpasteurized Cheese
• Cabot Clothbound Cheddar – Gold
• Harbison – Silver
• Moses Sleeper – Gold
• Weybridge – Bronze
• Oma – Silver
• Kinsman Ridge – Bronze

All of our raw milk cheeses, including Bayley Hazen Blue, meet the Slow-Food definition of "raw" as it pertains to cheese, namely that the milk is not heated above cow temperature (about 104°). Our focus has always been on creating the best milk possible to make safe & delicious cheese, raw or pasteurized. This is a proud day for our cheese, our cows, and our team!
