Job description

Position Summary

Tucked away in a series of underground vaults beneath a grassy pasture, the Jasper Hill cheese care team turns and brushes cheeses, salting them, spiking them, washing them in brine, all to transform them from young, bland wheels into some of the country’s most celebrated artisan cheese. 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.
