    Havilah: New Jersey’s Award-Winning Answer to Alpine-Style Cheese

    Send us a text In this episode, we dive into Havilah, an award-winning Alpine-style cheese from New Jersey made by Cherry Grove Farm. Crafted from raw, pasture-based Jersey cow’s milk, Havilah reflects the seasonality, terroir, and careful cheesemaking that have earned it national and international recognition, including wins at the World Cheese Awards. You’ll hear a full tasting breakdown—bright citrus and pineapple, toasted nuts, savory roast notes, and a caramel-like finish—along with pairing ideas ranging from wine and beer to cocktails and non-alcoholic options. I also share personal anecdotes from my time working with Cherry Grove, offering behind-the-scenes insight into the farm, the milk, and what makes this cheese so distinctive. Whether you’re a cheese professional, food lover, or just curious about American artisan cheese, this episode is a deep, delicious look at one of New Jersey’s true standouts. 🧀 Cherry Grove Farm – Official Sources https://www.cherrygrovefarm.com/ https://www.cherrygrovefarm.com/shop-all/p/havilah https://www.cherrygrovefarm.com/our-farmstead-cheeses Other Floral Fromage – Cherry Grove Farm Havilah listing: https://www.floralfromage.com/product-page/cherry-grove-farm-havilah Edible Jersey – Cherry Grove Farm feature / holiday cheese boards: https://ediblejersey.ediblecommunities.com/shop/shop-fresh-cheese-cherry-grove-farm-lawrenceville/ NJ Cheese Guild: https://www.njcheeseguild.org/ Pairings https://www.karmakrackers.com/product/obsessed-onion/ hhttps://spread-mmms.com/ 🏆 Awards Referenced World Cheese Awards (general site): https://worldcheeseawards.com/ Good Food Foundation (Good Food Awards): https://goodfoodfdn.org/ American Cheese Society Awards: https://www.cheesesociety.org/awards/
