Made in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom using local milk and a blend of cheddar and gruyere cultures, this cave-aged American original cheese is complex, nutty, and very meltable. Ripened by The Cellars at Jasper Hill, this cheese is truly one of a kind.
Try it with an English Ale and fig jam if you want to live your best cheese life.
What makes Karst truly special is how it’s finished: it’s ripened by The Cellars at Jasper Hill in Greensboro, Vermont—an underground affinage facility known for aging and caring for cheeses in specially calibrated vaults until they reach peak ripeness. That careful aging helps build Karst’s signature depth and character.
Karst is often described as the best of both worlds: it brings the earthy nuttiness you’d expect from an Alpine-style cheese, while still delivering the tang and structure people love in a cheddar. It’s a natural-rind style cheese that fits right in on a cheese board—but it’s just as at home in comfort food.
Karst is a go-to for:
Charcuterie boards and cheese plates (slice, chunk, and serve)
Grilled cheese, burgers, and melts (it’s extremely meltable)
Mac & cheese, sauces, and baked dishes (adds savory depth fast)
If you want proof, the Karst recipe collection leans hard into the “melts like a dream” angle—grilled cheese, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and more.
Karst is for people who want a cheese that feels approachable but still has a real story behind it: Vermont milk, old-world-inspired cultures, and cave aging by Jasper Hill’s Cellars, all coming together in one bold, versatile wedge.
