Cellars at Jasper Hill, Vermont -
Twenty two thousand square feet, seven underground vaults and a dream as big as the American cheese movement, Cellars is cutting edge and visionary both in its conception and implementation. The purpose of creating this aging facility was to provide a place for cheesemakers to send their “green” cheeses to be ripened and marketed by staff who are specially trained to do just that. By reducing the initial investment and training needed by farms trying to diversify, Cellars will provide opportunity to a greater number of those farms.
