Named after Lake Willoughby, this latest cheese from Jasper Hill Farm stays true to their slogan ‘A Taste of Place.’ In fact, all cheeses from Jasper Hill bear the names of nearby monuments, landmarks, and people, celebrating the rich history (and current artisan food revival!) of Vermont’s northeast kingdom. The small discs of cheese are creamy and unctuous. Each one is gently washed with saltwater brine, yielding a flavor that hints at pungency while staying true to the flavors of fresh, sweet cows’ milk. Each wheel weighs in at 8oz and is aged for 6-8 weeks.
Great cheese and Saxelby cheese mongers are very responsive. There was a slight error in the first shipment I ordered in December but they corrected and overnighted a replacement.

spready and creamy
Willoughby is my husband's favorite. Although it is a soft cheese, the rind is fairly mild. I enjoy it cut into small pieces with a bit of rind with each piece. No need to warm it up but I do think it is better at room temperature.

Willoughby is my first choice of Saxelby’s offerings.
