Mount Alice is a luscious, buttery, brie-style cheese named after the mountain peak that towers above the von Trapp Farmstead. Crafted with certified organic cow’s milk, this bloomy-rind beauty begins life as a tender, mild, and milky cheese with bright lactic and mushroom notes. As it ages, the rind ripens and the paste becomes increasingly gooey and rich, developing flavors reminiscent of cultured butter, brassica, and a gentle barnyard earthiness. At 2 pounds, this wheel is an entertainer’s dream—perfect for a cheese board centerpiece, tucked into a sandwich, or baked in the oven with preserves for a decadent, melty treat.
Since 1959, the von Trapp family has farmed their land in Waitsfield, Vermont, using regenerative agricultural practices that go above and beyond organic standards. The family—yes, that von Trapp family—settled here after WWII, drawn to the Vermont landscape that reminded them of their native Austria. Today, their third generation runs the dairy, crafting artisan cheeses that reflect both their heritage and Vermont terroir. Their cheesemaking philosophy is rooted in soil health, grass-fed cows, and hands-on craftsmanship.
