Harbison

Harbison is a bark-wrapped bloomy-rind cheese described by its creator, Jasper Hill Farm as having "woodsy, sweet, herbal, and bright flavors." The cheese was named after Anne Harbison, seen by many to be the grandmother of. She's active in the community, runs a bed and breakfast, and volunteers at the public library, and has known the Kehler brothers (owners of Jasper Hill Farm) since they were children. The bark, cut from Jasper Hill Farm's woodlands, holds the delicate cheese together, provides flavor to the creamy paste, and is recommended by Jasper Hill as providing an ideal presentation as the centerpiece of a cheese plate.
