Jasper Hill is unique in that we’re involved in all stages of the cheesemaking process, from raising cows to cave-aging. This means each farmer doesn’t have to go out on their own, pound the pavement, and find opportunities to sell their cheese. We partner with three other local creameries to develop our collection of 11 cheeses we produce together. What’s the benefit of being all three? A: We use cheeses as tools for rural development. Q: Jasper Hill is a dairy farm, creamery, and cheese-aging facility. Well-balanced cheeses tend to have a really smooth texture, so that’s what we were looking for. A lot of times, texture and taste are linked. We’re also looking for textural qualities. The Dig Inn cheddar has notes of roasted nuts and chicken broth. Beyond taste, we’re looking for a complexity of aromas.

Q: How did Jasper Hill decide on this particular cheddar for Dig Inn’s Mac & Cheese? A: Our Sensory Team hand-selected this cheddar, tasting each batch of cheese with a tool we call a “cheese trier.” It looks like a long, narrow apple corer, and it removes a tiny bit of cheese from each batch, so we can evaluate the five tastes: saltiness, sourness, sweetness, bitterness, and umami. We sat down with Zoe Brickley, Jasper Hill’s Head of Development, to chat about creating the ideal blend of cheeses and her personal Jasper Hill pick (which you can eat with a spoon). The final result? A sharper, meltier Mac that unanimously won a taste-test by Dig Inn chefs when pitted head-to-head against our old favorite. We mix it with mild Swiss and Fontal to boost gooeyness without overpowering the cheddar’s flavor. For a more accessible price, Dig Inn can purchase large volumes of Jasper Hill cheese. Instead of shaping the cheese into a wheel, Jasper Hill shreds it, saving time, labor, and ultimately money. Aged for 12 months, our version tastes smoother and creamier than the Clothbound, making it perfect for Mac. Dig Inn’s Mac & Cheese starts with a farmstead cheddar made with the same cultures as Jasper Hill’s acclaimed Cabot Clothbound.
