Story: Jasper Hill are the rock stars of American cheese, and this is their first hit. Bayley Hazen is a classic natural rind, English style blue. The smaller fat globules in the Ayrshire milk breakdown quickly in the agin process, and help the cheese maintain a drier profile. The paste is nutty and crumbly, with a slight sharpness. If there was no blue, Bayley Hazen might taste like a good English hard cheese. The mold is relatively mild with a subtle mouthfilling warmth with faint hints of anise and parsley. Bayley Hazen is named after a nearby military road built by Washington to fight the British on the Canadian front. Wiley Canucks!
