Happy FREE cheese sample Thursday! If the late, great American jazz vocalist Billie Holiday (1915-1959) were still with us, we are pretty sure that she would have sung the praises of local https://www.jasperhillfarm.com/bayley Bayley Hazen Blue, and audiences would have swooned! Crafted from high quality, raw cow milk and aged for 3-4 months in a cave in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, Bayley has developed a loyal following largely due to its “perfect saltiness”, fudge-like texture, toasted nut sweetness and anise spice character. Also, the sharp pepperiness which is present in most blue cheese is subdued, giving way to the grassy, nutty flavors in the milk, making it more accessible to more palettes. Pair Bayley with a bit of dark chocolate, fruity red dessert wine or a toasty imperial stout while listening to some “Lady Day” and start a new tradition. Get Bluesy
