Whitney
oil on wood, 12x12"
From the Cheese Portraits series.
This is 2022's highest ranked cheese in North America. Winning "Best of Show" 1st place at the American Cheese Society competition.
For several years, from 2012-2019, I was honored to be invited to the American Cheese Society's annual conference and competition. In exchange for my involvement I painted the 3 best of show winners and that collection of portraits of the highest ranked cheeses made in North America belongs to the ACS.
Since the pandemic, there's been a lot of changes. I may no longer be attending the conference but I'm still glad to paint this champion cheese portrait with the first place blue-purple ribbon colored background. Jasper Hill Farm is no stranger to this place on the list of champions. Whitney is a beautiful alpine-style cheese that is perfect for melting, ready for a raclette machine, though I found it melted just as easily on my tongue.
The raw cow milk mountain-style cheese is named after Tim Whitney, a dedicated team member who has been with Jasper Hill since 2004 and it's absolutely beautiful to tasste. Congratulations Jasper Hill Farm!
