Company description

At Jasper Hill, we believe that cheese is a powerful force for good. We are a mission-based company working to preserve Vermont’s working landscape by making and aging world class cheese. The Jasper Hill Family of Businesses includes two farms, a state-of-the-art underground cheese aging facility, sales, marketing, and fulfillment teams, and two creameries.

Job description

Tucked away in a series of underground vaults beneath a grassy pasture, the Jasper Hill affinage and production team turns and brushes cheeses, salting them, spiking them, washing them in brine, all to transform them from young, fresh wheels into some of the country’s most celebrated artisan cheeses. We blend centuries-old cheese ripening techniques with the latest scientific understanding in order to coax the highest possible expression from our cheeses. The work is fast-paced and often physical, but allows the opportunity to work alongside a dedicated team that’s committed to the highest standards of quality.
