Simon Says Cherry White Cheddar Cheese - Aged 2 Years & Infused with Cherry Wine
Celebrate a beautiful partnership between two local Door County artisans with Renard's Artisan Simon Says Cherry White Cheddar. Crafted for special occasions and moments worth savoring, this cheese is a unique collaboration with our neighbors at Simon Creek Winery. It’s the perfect sophisticated flavor to toast to good friends and strong community bonds.
We begin with our finest White Cheddar, aged for two full years to develop a rich, complex tang. Then, we carefully infuse it with the delightful Cherry Wine from Simon Creek Winery, creating a one-of-a-kind taste experience. This blend is a heartfelt expression of our family’s passion for partnering with local makers to create new and exciting flavors for you to enjoy.
Rich and Sweet: Experience the firm texture and deep, tangy character of a well-aged cheddar, followed by a subtle, sweet blush of ripe cherry. It is a wonderfully balanced and sophisticated flavor that feels both elegant and celebratory, like a toast to a cherished friendship.
For Elegant Pairings: This cheese’s distinctive profile makes it a showstopper on any cheese board. It is exquisite for snacking with plain crackers that allow its unique taste to shine, delightful when served with toasted almonds, or a beautiful complement to dark chocolate. For an ideal pairing, enjoy it with the very same Simon Creek Cherry Wine used to create it.
At Renard's Artisan Cheese, we believe the best flavors are born from collaboration and community. Our Simon Says Cherry White Cheddar is made in that spirit, offering a piece of our heritage and a taste of our home to enrich your gatherings.
