QUANTITY:

1/3 lb wedge

Juniper Berry Infused Quintuple Crème Blue

Made using a recipe in which five ten-gallon cans of cream are added to each vat, The Blue Jay is rich in texture with strong buttery notes. Crushed juniper berries are added to release their perfume and infuse them throughout as a complement to the Blue strain’s unique botanical essence. The result is a bold, yet utterly creamy Blue with a delicately piney bouquet that blooms in your mouth. While The Blue Jay is wonderful with any of our suggested pairings, try it melted on a New York Strip for a truly decadent experience. (Add on our: DLM Prime New York Strip Steaks)

Vermont is a state rich in agriculture, specifically dairy farming with a number of seasoned producers celebrating 100+ years of tradition. Then, there are newbies like the Kehler brothers of Jasper Hill Farm. After purchasing the farm in the late 1990s, the Kehlers were making a name for themselves with clothbound Cheddars and European-style cheese with natural rinds formed in their aging caves. This made them the perfect neighbors and ultimate partners for Cabot Creamery, a fantastic co-op founded in 1919, with warehouses focused on keeping surface mold away from cheese!
