Spring Brook Farm specializes in award-winning French Alpine-style cheeses. In 2008 they produced their first make of Tarentaise, a farmstead cheese made using fresh raw milk from our milking herd of 40 Jersey cows. It has a natural washed rind, is semi-firm in texture, and aged for a minimum of nine months. By the time Tarentaise is ready for sale, it will have been washed and turned at least 60 times by their knowledgeable aging room staff.
Depending on the season, the flavor profile on Tarentaise can range from bright red berries and floral undertones to deeply brown butter and nutty to wonderfully savory and brothy. Tarentaise Reserve follows the same make process as Tarentaise but is allowed to age for a minimum of 18 months to produce a cheese that is even more complex in flavor.
