Jasper Hill Farm
Eligo
Pasteurized Cow and Goat Milk Cheese
Greensboro, Vermont
Eligo, named for a nearby lake, is the first cheese Jasper Hill Creamery has developed to suit the expertly crafted goat milk coming from their partners at Bridgman Hill Farm. Eligo’s flavors bring out the best in both milk types; buttery richness from the cow milk carries a soft, white pepper spice note and goat aromas. A densely creamy texture is a bit softer beneath the rosy-orange washed rind, where the flavors are more pronounced.
WINE & CRAFT BEER PAIRINGS: Eligo’s goat aromas and subtle earthiness from the rind make it a great match for skin contact or full-bodied white wines, and mixed fermentation ales. Preserved lemon, mild green olives, and toasted almonds make for nice accompaniments.
ABOUT THE CREAMERY: It all began when brothers Andy and Mateo, along with their wives, Victoria and Angie, pooled their life savings and bought a rocky hillside farm in Vermont’s subarctic climate zone near the Canadian border. What made the Northeast Kingdom region special to them was the sleepy village of Greensboro with its sparkling, secluded Caspian Lake – where their family had found summer respite for more than 100 years. Greensboro’s sparse population and rural locale held few opportunities for conventional career paths. The old dairy barn they found themselves with hadn’t seen cows for nearly 40 years. About a third of the farms in town sold their cows in 1998; the same year that the Kehlers bought what locals referred to as “the old Jasper Hill farm.” Learn more about Jasper Hill Farm’s story here> Information and Photos © Jasper Hill Farm – All Rights Reserved.
Cooper’s Hill
Double Gloucester
Great Britain
Cooper’s Hill celebrates a famous cheese rolling tradition enshrined in English folklore. This pasteurized cow’s milk cheese combines the creamy texture and rounded taste of a quintessential British Double Gloucester with the tang of added chives and onions. Every year, a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese is sent down the hill and the first person chasing it to cross the finish line receives the wheel of the cheese and all the accolades.

WINESTYLES: Bold or Mellow red wines or Silky white wines. BEERSTYLES: Fruity & Spicy

ABOUT THE CREAMERY:
In the 1980s, Jean Claude Guilloteau and his wife settled in Pélussin, a picturesque village in France’s Rhône-Alpes region, near Lyon. Surrounded by vineyards, mountains and a rich culinary tradition, Guilloteau set out to rethink the art of French cheesemaking.
