Discover the remarkable depth and character of Renard's Artisan 7 Year Aged Sharp Cheddar. This is a cheese born of patience and dedication, a true testament to the cheesemaker's art. Crafted for the discerning palate and reserved for moments of quiet appreciation, it represents the pinnacle of our family's passion for traditional aging, a process that cannot be rushed.
We select our finest cheddar and set it aside, allowing it to mature slowly and gracefully for seven full years. Over this time, it undergoes a magical transformation, developing an intensely concentrated flavor and a beautifully crystalline texture. This cheese is a heartfelt expression of our reverence for time-honored methods and the extraordinary results they can produce.
Complex, Sharp, and Nutty: Experience a delightfully firm and crumbly texture that melts on the tongue, revealing a symphony of complex flavors. The profound sharpness is beautifully balanced with savory, nutty undertones and a rich, buttery finish. It is a deeply satisfying and unforgettable flavor that speaks to years of careful aging and expert craftsmanship.
A Connoisseur's Delight: This cheese’s distinguished character makes it a perfect selection for a sophisticated tasting experience. It is exceptional when served on its own, allowing its intricate flavors to take center stage, or paired with a robust Cabernet Sauvignon or a vintage port. Crumble it into a gourmet dish to impart an unmatched depth of savory flavor.
At Renard's Artisan Cheese, we believe that some things are worth waiting for. Our 7 Year Aged Sharp Cheddar is made in that spirit, offering a piece of our heritage and a taste of the profound character that only time can create.
Bring home the exceptional, patiently aged flavor of Renard's 7 Year Sharp Cheddar. Treat yourself or a fellow cheese lover to this magnificent creation and savor the simple pleasure of a snack perfected by time.
