This scrumptious selection doubles as a pairing activity; each cheese is matched with a bespoke preserve designed to pair perfectly with that particular style. A classic collection, the Diversion now comes with four heftier hunks of cheese and a hand-carved wooden spreader.
Harbison (9-ounce wheel)
Harbison is a soft-ripened cheese with a rustic, bloomy rind. Young cheeses are wrapped in strips of spruce cambium, the tree's inner bark layer, harvested from the woodlands of Jasper Hill. The spoonable texture begins to develop in our vaults, though the paste continues to soften on the way to market. Harbison is woodsy and sweet, balanced with lemon, mustard, and vegetal flavors.
Bayley Hazen Blue (8-ounce wedge)
Bayley has developed a loyal following because of its fudge-like texture, toasted-nut sweetness, and anise spice character. The paste is dense and creamy, with well-distributed blue veins. The usual peppery character of blue cheese is subdued, giving way to the grassy, nutty flavors in the milk.
Cabot Clothbound Cheddar (6-ounce wedge)
An approachable but complex natural-rind, bandaged cheddar with a crumbly texture and nutty aroma. The flavor is deeply savory and slightly tangy, with caramel sweetness to the finish. Winner of the 2006 American Cheese Society’s Best of Show award!
Whitney (12-ounce wedge)
Whitney has a dense, incredibly supple paste and a peachy wine-washed rind. Whitney is meaty, sweet, and slightly funky, but these bold flavors are balanced out by their buttery smoothness. Winner of the 2022 American Cheese Society’s Best of Show award!
