Meet Moses Sleeper’s evil twin: Moses Reaper. With an ashed rind and an
annatto-dyed jack o’ lantern-orange interior, this limited release is perfect for
spooky-season cheese spreads. Just like the classic, Moses Reaper boasts
a supple, buttery paste with a delicate, mushroomy rind and savory vegetal notes.
Pair it with a rustic loaf of crusty bread, fresh slices of tart apples, a seasonal
harvest farmhouse ale, or—of course—a crisp orange wine.
Store in the refrigerator.
Jasper Hill Farm, located in the Northeast Kingdom, has a small herd of Ayrshires that are quite spoiled. The cows go out on a fresh piece of pasture after every milking during the spring summer and fall and are fed a ration of dry hay through the winter, when they stay in avoiding harsh winter wind and snow and listen to a great selection of jazz and classical music. These healthy happy cows are taken care of by Andy Kehler, who has worked with his brother Mateo Kehler since 1998 making superior cheeses.
