Jasper Hill Farm Alpha Tolman Cheese Wheel, 22 lb

Alpha Tolman is a Jasper Hill original, inspired by classic Alpine cheeses of Europe. Its name pays homage to Mr. Alpha Tolman, a philanthropic dairy farmer responsible for among other notable works building the town library in 1900. Alpha s grandfather, Enoch Tolman, was an original settler of Greensboro. True to style, Alpha curds are cooked and pressed to achieve a tight, elastic texture and robust, complex flabors. Young wheels are washed with a cultured brine to cultivate a natural rind that lendns an authentic, funky depth of character. Mature wheels are bold and meaty with amplified butter and caramelized onion flavors carried by a rich and crystalline texture. The texture, aesthetic, and flavor make Alpha Tolman an ideal choice for fans of Appenzeller (or fondue). Try pairing with a robust ale, plummy red wines, or onion jam. For a satisfying and novel meal, follow the lead of Swiss/ French raclette: melt it onto a plate of fingerling potatoes, cured meat, and natural sour pickles.
