Never tried Jasper Hill but I forgot about and had Mystic at my cousin's wedding. They were very good but I, personally, give the edge to CCF. I absolutely love their Aged Bloomsday as a favorite but I also thought Mystic's Bleu cheese was better, for the record.

This is true. I consider myself spoiled because I used to live a few miles from Cato Corner and now I live in the town next door to where Arethusa is. I'll take either! And thanks for the info. I was not aware of the awards they've received!

I would venture to say Cato Corner makes the best cheese for a longer distance than the state borders. Couldn't say exactly how far because I haven't tried all the cheese there is but their cheese is the best I've tried.
