SENSORY NOTES - Harbison is a soft-ripened cheese with a rustic, bloomy rind. Young cheeses are wrapped in strips of spruce cambium, the tree's inner bark layer, harvested from the woodlands of Jasper Hill. The spoonable texture begins to develop in our vaults, though the paste continues to soften on the way to market. Harbison is woodsy and sweet, balanced with lemon, mustard, and vegetal flavors.
PAIRING AND SERVICE - Harbison is a great excuse to gather a few friends and scoop into a decadent treat. When a bit younger, the bark can be peeled away for sliced portioning. If the bark has fused with a more loosened paste, then the best approach is to leave the bark intact and spoon out portions from the top. Pair with oaked white wine, or barrel-aged sour beer. Fruit mostarda and crusty bread make nice accompaniments.

Harbison is different but very goos
We ordered this cheese based on the description on the Olsson's website. It is indeed something out of hte ordinary. If you give it time to come to room temperature it almost liquifies. We X cut the top and very much enjoyed this relatively strong cheese. It picks up flavors from being cave aged and banded in birch. This is not an everyday cheese, but when you want something special, pair this with a nice red wine that won't be overpowered and you're in for a great experience.
