5-Year Aged Wisconsin Cheddar

5-Year Aged Wisconsin Cheddar 

Our 5-Year Aged Cheddar has a firm texture, a sharp, clean tanginess, and creamy sweetness on the finish. Cheddar gets most of its sharpness between three and five years. 

What Happens When Cheddar Ages?

As Cheddar ages it releases extra moisture, really concentrating and focusing the flavors. The loss of moisture also changes the texture. The cheese will become crumblier and begin to form flavor crystals. 

What's the Difference Between Your Aged Cheddars?

We think the best way to experience the difference between our Aged Cheddars is to try them side-by-side.  A vertical Cheddar tasting!

Serving

Serving 5-Year Aged Wisconsin Cheddar

• Leave the melty, ooey-gooey dishes to young cheddars.
• Aged cheddar likes to be eaten with a little sticky sweetness, so serve it with a homemade jam, chutney or honey. We love it paired with Tait Farms Mango, Cranberry or Apple Chutney, Terrapin Ridge Champagne Honey Mustard, Concord Farms Raw Honey, or our own Apple Butter. 
• Pair with sweet pickles or pickled beets. 
• It makes for a classic English Ploughman’s lunch (cheese, fruit and veggie board). 
• Team with big, peppery green salads, a warm grain salad (barley, farro, quinoa) or most hearty soups like Potato Cheddar
