This cow's milk cheese is cave-aged in Vermont for 7 or more months at the Cellars of Jasper Hill. It's especially delicious because it's made from the cultures of both cheddar and gruyere, producing the most addictive sweet and nutty flavor while being absolutely the perfect firm yet fudge like bite to sink your teeth into.

It was a wonderful gift to get such a large block of this cheese and I was looking forward to presenting the natural rind as much as the cheddar-like texture. While deciding on how to stage it, I may have over complicated the composition, but I think it better presents the riches of cheese I have. It may have taken a bit longer but I sustained myself with bites of this subject the entire time I worked on it.
