Moses Sleeper was Greensboro Vermont's own local Revolutionary War hero, and is the inspiration for this decadent and buttery washed rind cheese. Greensboro is home to Jasper Hill Farm, one of the best artisan cheese companies in the US, and indeed the world! The undulating fluffy folds of bloomy rind—think something along the lines of brie or camembert—encase a creamy, pudding-like paste that tastes of cauliflower, truffles, and barnyard. Each wheel weighs in at 1lb, and is aged 4-6 weeks.

This a melt in the mouth cheese with a marvelous aftertaste. My only quibble, and it’s a small one, is I prefer a stronger flavor. This is not a criticism but just a warning for those of us who like our cheese strong rather than mild.
