Zesty, Fresh, and Bold: Experience a firm, smooth texture that gives way to a complex and invigorating taste. The sharpness of the cheddar is met with the zesty fire of horseradish, all beautifully rounded out by the mild, fresh finish of chives. It is a wonderfully layered and mouthwatering flavor that is both bold and beautifully balanced.

It is exceptional on a roast beef sandwich, fantastic when melted into mashed potatoes for an unforgettable side dish, or perfect for adding a surprising punch to your next burger. For an ideal pairing, enjoy it with a crisp, cold pilsner or a bold Zinfandel.
