Greensboro, Vermont

Jasper Hill Farm, the expansive dairy project hatched by brothers Mateo and Andy Kehler, was first established in Greensboro, Vermont, during the summer of 2002. Named for a pioneering dairy farmer from the town of Greensboro, Alpha Tolman is the Kehler Brothers’ latest creation. It is made using traditional Alpine methods of cooking and pressing the curds to achieve a tight, elastic texture and robust, complex flavors. The wheels are washed with a cultured brine to cultivate a rosy orange, mildly funky rind. Young wheels have flavors of milk, fruit and nuts, and a smooth mouthfeel, while older wheels are bold and meaty, with flavors of onion and a rich and crystalline texture.

Flavor notes: fruit, nuts, onion

Pairs with: Lavender Ridge Vineyard Viognier, Roussanne
