This creamy, slightly funky washed rind creation from Jasper Hill Farm is the result of a collaboration with another Vermont farm, Bridgman Hill Farm. Sticky and silky, Eligo’s flavor manages to highlight the buttery notes from Jasper Hill’s cow’s milk and the white pepper undertones and aromatics from Bridgman Hill’s goat’s milk. The washed orange rind has an inviting earthiness, while its overall mild flavor appeals to a range of palates. Bring out this cheese’s goaty aromas with a glass of full-bodied chardonnay.
"When looking for a great pizza topping, look no further than this Jasper Hill Farm cheese or try pairing it with a savory flavor such as Murray’s Garlic & Dill Pickle Spears."
Allergens: Milk
- Eligo is part of Jasper Hill Farm’s vision to innovate with goat’s and sheep’s milk.
- This cheese gets its name from a local Vermont lake.
- Turn Eligo into a cheese plate with whole grain mustard, a peppery blue, and a hoppy beer or a fruit-forward white wine.
Located in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, Jasper Hill Farm is a dairy farm with an on-site creamery where they make and age a variety of well-loved cheeses.
The state-of-the-art Cellars at Jasper Hill Farm consist of 22,000 square-feet of underground space, where they ripen Jasper Hill Creamery cheeses as well as cheeses from other local producers.
Their farm team cuts and bails hay during summer to dry for winter months, ensuring their cows have local feed during the harsh Vermont winters.
Among other waste management projects, they feed leftover whey from cheesemaking to heritage breed pigs who live outside the cows’ pasture.
