One of our sharpest cheddar cheeses! This 12 year aged cheddar is full of crystals, white calcium lactate crystals to be exact! As cheddar slowly ages, it loses moisture and its texture becomes drier and more crumbly. This will give you the smooth, rich, buttery, sharp, and slightly earthy flavors that your palette craves!
PAIRS WELL WITH
There’s a lot of flavor and texture going on with aged cheddar, so you want a drink that stands up to that but doesn’t overpower it. We like off-dry, mature beverages that have just a touch of sweetness like saison ale, cider, bock and Belgian ales. For wine, we recommend riesling, chardonnay and champagne (whites) and syrah, pinot noir and chianti (reds). Bourbon and single malt scotch are always sure bets too.
