Our Cheesemaker

This spring Roger welcomed Jennifer Betancourt to the cheeseroom. Jennifer grew up in Edgecomb, Maine and was blessed with the opportunity to learn the art of cheesemaking at the Squire Tarbox Inn on Westport Island. She followed her passion for cheese to Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. There Jennifer majored in Animal Science, taking classes in microbiology and food science, as well as working to make Cornell's NY State Cheddar. Jennifer married and returned to Maine. She worked for a few years in nonagricultural jobs, while her interest in cheese aged quietly, like an exquisite asiago. Jennifer is thrilled to be back at the vat!
