Cheddar – 5 Year

Our 5 Year Old Sharp Cheddar is divine! Five years of old-fashioned aging brings those distinctive qualities that cheese aficionados seek out – a hardy, complex flavor profile featuring a significant sharpness, along with nutty and caramelized notes. The firm and crumbly texture makes it ideal to add to a quiche or sauces for a more robust flavor.

Pairings and Complementary Flavors:

Cocktails: Old Fashioned with a twist or a Manhattan. The smooth and sweet flavors of these cocktails create a balanced and harmonious pairing. Whiskey, bourbon, and malt scotch offer depth and intensity to match the bold flavors of Renard’s Artisan Cheese 5 Years Sharp Cheddar. The strong flavors do not mask each other but instead, create the most flavorful combination.

Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Rioja Reserva, Syrah, or Port. These wines offer the essence of sweet berries with mildly earthy, smoky notes and moderate acidity. The flavors of these wines harmonize nicely with five-year cheddar. The richness of a full-bodied, oaky chardonnay with buttery vanilla notes complements the complexity of the cheddar.

Beer: IPA, Porter, or Stout. A hoppy IPA, a bold malt Porter, or a rich Stout will complement the savory sharp flavors of this cheddar, creating a delightful balance on your palate.

Accompaniments: Crusty bread, crackers, oat biscuits, chutney or preserves, fig jam, cranberry compote, honey, or dark chocolate, and sweet or spicy nuts are all great accompaniments to the intensity of 5 Year Sharp Cheddar. Cured meats, pickles, olives, and nuts add saltiness and crunch, while fresh fruit such as fresh apples, grapes, and pears provide contrasting textures and flavors. Dried fruits will contribute a chewy and sweet element to the pairing.

Suggested uses:

  • Cheese board or cheese centerpiece
  • This intense flavor of the cheese makes it an excellent choice when looking to add depth and a rich savory element.
  • Elevates soups, sauces, dips, and gratins
  • Gourmet grilled cheese, burgers, and sandwiches. The robust flavor can heighten the overall taste and provide delightful contrast.
  • Adds a burst of flavor to savory tarts, baked goods, quiche, or gourmet omelets.
