The Flavor Experience

Noticeably tangy with a pleasant acidic sharpness on the finish, this cheddar lends itself well to many culinary applications.

The Story

This White New York Cheddar is made in the Finger Lakes region, one of the most picturesque areas of the US. It has been aged for over 5 years, giving it an explosive burst of rich flavor and a sharp, tangy bite. As cheddar ages it loses its smooth, firm texture and becomes more granular and crumbly, making this cheese perfect for chunking but very difficult to slice. Each 1 pound block is hand-dipped in wax to both signify its excellence and to package the cheese in a more artisan and attractive manner. Its sharp character makes this cheese perfect for pairing with the hearty ale of your choice. It also goes great with grapes, sausage, dried apricots, nuts, and ham.

An IPA, Pilsner or medium-bodied red wine would be a perfect partner in crime for this amiable cheddar. A few cuts of Benton's Bacon and thick slices of bread and you've got yourself a lunch.
