Spring Brook Tarentaise is a sharp, firm cheese crafted in the Alpine style, meaning it follows the tradition of famed cheeses of the Alps like Gruyère, Beaufort, and Comté. Made from rich, raw Jersey cows' milk in a traditional copper vat, Tarentaise is rich, complex, and full-flavored. Aged for 7 months or more, the texture is smooth and dense, with deep, nutty, and spicy flavors abounding. Hints of freshly cut grass and sweet toasted hazelnuts accent the flavor profile and bring heady richness when melted. Get it for the Holidays, before it is gone!

Long Description

An award-winning, American artisan favorite, Tarentaise is aged for approximately 9 to 12 months with a natural washed rind. During the maturation process, it is turned and washed dozens of times. The result is a unique creamy texture balanced by nutty, grassy undertones found closer to the rind (the rind tastes like peanuts!). While this versatile, semi-firm cheese is ideally suited to melting, it exhibits a subtle yet complex flavor profile that allows it to stand alone on any cheese plate.

About the Producer

Located on Spring Brook Farm in Reading, VT; they have been making cheese since 2007. They began with Tarentaise, an Alpine style mountain cheese, using cheesemaking methods that are traditional to the Beaufort region of France. From there, they developed our American Raclette: Reading and Ashbrook, their ode to the French Morbier.

They knew from the beginning that the key to making great cheese was great milk. As a subsidiary of the Farms for City Kids Foundation, Spring Brook Farm is a traditional dairy farm that covers 1,000 acres and maintains a herd of 100 registered Jersey. It is an educational farm, and the cows are closely monitored, loved and cared for. This attention to the cows and milk production gave them their parameters for milk standards. Since then, they have partnered with two other small family dairy farms in their region who provide the same level of care to their Jerseys and milk production.

Serving Suggestions

Pair Tarentaise with fresh or roasted pears, dark chocolate, or prosciutto. Melt over boiled potatoes and enjoyed with charcuterie and cornichons.

Wonderful bit of cheese

We splurge once a year on very fine cheeses - the Rogue River Blue is regularly on the top of the list. It arrived in excellent condition, taste, texture, and aroma, all sublime. Rave reviews/comments from our friends (they seem very willing to appear for a cheese and wine gathering, hum....) Thanks to the folks at the Cheese Grotto for making such wonderful wedges available. cheers, Fred

One of the best

I will always buy this cheese. It’s one of my favorites and has been for years! Take it out of the fridge about an hour before serving it so it’s room temperature and super creamy when serving. It’s really good on apple slices or on crackers. I sometimes eat it on Triscuits and the added salt is soooo good with the woody flavor of the cheese. 10/10

Creamy flavorful

I’ve heard about the wonderfulness of Harbison, so when I had the change ordered a couple small wheels - it lives up to it’s reputation - creamy, flavorful, totally enjoyable.

Wagyu and More!

I recently received my Cheese Grotto selections of Wagyu Bresaola, Wild Rosemary from Goat Rodeo, Marin French Cheese Petite Camembert and Sour Cherry Pomegranate Conserve. At a small dinner party they were so popular I worried guests would want to skip dinner and just dwell on the charcuterie offerings! It was wonderful to have a unique goat cheese offering for my guest who limits dairy. The conserve has enhanced meat, cheese, and bread at my table. I recommend all of these items from Cheese Grotto.

Chocolates

While the service accommodations were awesome and the chocolates were divine, they were much smaller than expected. I am not sure I could afford them again given the size of the chocolates with that price.

Well balanced cheddar

I’ve been enjoying this with flax and poppy seed crackers. Not too sharp and has a subtle nutty flavor that the crackers being out.

Lisa, we love this cheddar so much haha! We're so happy you also enjoy it, it is wonderfully complex and nuanced without being too aggressive. And the flavor just lasts and lasts.

My Favorite Part Of Winter!

I look forward to this cheese every year. It is a show-stopper on any cheeseboard and its pairings-- don't even get me started! This cheese is my excuse to keep potato chips in the house. It is so good, I have to ship my parents a wheel as well each season! Cannot wait to dig into a wheel this year.

Better than most Brie!

This is heavenly… oozy and creamy as soon as it is tempered, unlike supermarket varieties. I purchased this at Lakewood Winery (I think! We visited several that day) and I regret not buying several! Obviously I’m online looking for more…

The Best Cheese I've Ever Had

Though I'm not a fan of stinky cheese, I purchased this package for a small, socially-distanced cheese night with some friends. The Appalachian and Mountaineer were "crowd" favorites. They're absolutely delectable. Even the Mini-Grayson found its small fan club. I will definitely be buying this again!

Yay cheese!

We couldn't resist and ate everything last night. Insanely yummy! The Cooper Creek was our favorite! It paired so well with the pears and salami we had. <3

Great Trio!

I loved these three cheeses! The clothbound cheddar pairs so well with dark chocolate. Would buy again!

Complex and Tasty!

I’m not one for stinky cheeses, so when initially plating, Foxglove was daunting. However, after pairing it with some of the suggested foods from the pairing literature, I think I’m in love! This set was complex, creamy, and worth every penny!

Amazing Cheese!

This cheese was super creamy! We followed all of the pairing literature, made sure to let it temper at room temp before serving, and it was so delicious!

The Best Goat Cheese I've Ever Had!

This is the best goat cheese I've ever had! If you like goat cheese and hard cheese this is for you. The pairing notes were amazing also!
