Tarentaise Cheese
a sharp, firm Alpine-style cheese by Spring Brook Farm
one 8 oz package
A Farmstead cheese made using fresh raw milk from the Spring Brook Farm milking herd of 40 Jersey cows. It has a natural washed rind, is semi-firm in texture, and aged for a minimum of nine months.
Depending on the season, the flavor profile on Tarentaise can range from bright red berries and floral undertones to nutty, browned butter to wonderfully savory and brothy.
Spring Brook Farm is a traditional dairy farm located in Reading, Vermont. It covers 1,000 acres and is home to 100 registered Jersey cows and a cheese operation focused on Alpine cheeses. They also operate the Farms for City Kids Foundation, an outdoor agrarian classroom for kids from urban centers.
Spring Brook Farm is a dairy farm with a twofold mission — first and foremost, to serve as an outdoor agrarian classroom for kids from urban centers (Farms for City Kids Foundation), and second as a producer of top quality raw milk cheese. Students that come to Spring Brook Farm learn about biology, chemistry, economics, health, and nutrition, all by way of participating in the day to day rhythms of a working farm. In addition to cows, Spring Brook raises vegetables, hay, goats, chickens, pigs, and turkeys. Spring Brook's herd of registered Jersey cows produces over 600,000 pounds of milk per year, which is converted into wheels of cheese.
Keeps refrigerated for 30 days.
Heritage Foods is expanding our cheese selections in partnership with the Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund (ASLF), whose mission is to provide monthlong paid apprenticeships for young adults to live on sustainable farms — to work, learn, and be inspired to create change in their communities. We have selected our favorite domestically produced cheeses from ASLF partner farms for pairing with Heritage meats!
