Jasper Hill Farm Bayley Hazen Blue Cheese, 1 Pound, $31.99/lb

Bayley Hazen Blue was one of the first cheeses made as the Jasper Hill Creamery got up and running in 2003. The recipe is based on a British natural rind blue. This signature blue cheese 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, elevating the grassy, nutty flavors of the raw cow milk. The complexity of Bayley means it's ideal for blue lovers but the balanced sweetness and mild spice make it approachable to a more timid audience. Try pairing with a fruity red dessert wine, toasty imperial stouts or a hunk of dark chocolate. Slicing makes for amazing burgers or salads, especially with caramelized onions.
