Greensward from Murray's Cheese is a distinctive soft cheese that showcases the collaborative efforts of Murray's Cheese and Jasper Hill Farm. Greensward has a creamy texture that's enhanced by wrapping it in spruce bark. This cheese, which has won several awards, including recognition from the American Cheese Society, is noted for its bold and creamy taste with hints of mushrooms, brandied cherries, and woodsy spruce notes.
The cheese is washed in cider during its aging process, which contributes to its unique flavor profile. Each round of Greensward is aged in Murray’s caves, where it develops a delicate pungency and a spoonable texture that has become a favorite among cheese lovers.
