Antonelli's Wisconsin Cheese Takeover

Antonelli's Wisconsin Cheese Takeover


For the first time ever, we’re hosting a WISCONSIN CHEESE TAKEOVER! Yes, we’re giving America’s Dairyland a special spotlight all week long. Just to start tempting you: Wisconsin is home to many “American Original” cheeses. Do you know what this means? Can you name any? America’s most awarded cheese is inspired by a European icon. Can you name both cheeses? We’ll be answering these, sharing many more Wisconsin cheese facts, and handing out as many free cheese bites as we can. (And just FYI, our Wisconsin faves will still be nestled among the many other cheeses we love.)

In the small town of Greensboro, Vermont, just south of the Canadian border, lies Jasper Hill Farm, a stunning representation of America’s budding artisanal cheese scene. With over 40 awards from both domestic and international organizations, Jasper Hill Farm never ceases to amaze us. Through their practice of regenerative agriculture, they ensure not only the quality of their cheese but also the quality of their land, creating a sustainable creamery that produces cheeses defined as much by their recipes as by the microflora of the farm itself. Below the farm lies “The Cellars”, an innovative, collaborative aging facility that houses Jasper Hill originals alongside multiple cheeses from surrounding producers. The complex spans 22,000 square feet, with seven unique vaults built specifically for each distinct style of cheese they age. Their attention to detail, from the grasses of their land, to the cows they raise, to the aging caves they hand-built, allows for the terroir (taste of place) of Northeast Vermont to shine through every bite. As you dive into this month's cheese box, you will find five of our favorites from Jasper Hill Farm, tasting their artistry firsthand.
