Cheddar – 5 Year White

Our 5-year-old Sharp White Cheddar is divine! Aged to perfection, it’s bold, nutty, slightly tangy, and features remarkable depth. Its firm and crumbly texture makes it ideal for adding to quiche or sauces for a more robust flavor.

Pairings and Complementary Flavors

Cocktails: Whiskey or single malt scotch offers depth that highlights the complexity of the cheese. Apple martinis or cider would pair magnificently with this cheese’s rich and creamy profile. The oaky or fruity flavors of these beverages mingle well with the tangy notes of aged cheddar.

Wine: Chardonnay, Riesling, Prosecco, and Sauvignon Blanc offer rich buttery, floral, refreshing, and herbaceous notes. These wines create a harmonious balance with our 5-Year White Cheddar. With its lighter body, good acidity, and red fruit flavors, Pinot Noir can blend with the notes of aged cheddar without overwhelming it.

Beer: Belgian or Amber ale, IPA, and Stout. These beers feature bold, hoppy flavors, balanced bitterness, medium carbonation, and malt-forward profiles. They are highlighted with undertones of citrus, chocolate, and caramel. These beers enhance aged cheddar’s deep, nutty flavors, making for a delightful pairing.

Accompaniments: Fruits such as Bartlett or Bosc pears, Granny Smith apples, red grapes, or apricots add a natural sweetness and refreshing acidity, providing a pleasant contrast. Fig preserves, or honey offer a subtle sweet flavor to complement the complexity of the cheese. Cured meats, pickles, or olives add depth to highlight the bold, tangy taste of 5-Year White Sharp Cheddar.

Nuts: Walnuts, pecans, almonds, and pistachios provide a crunchy texture and bring a heightened nutty flavor to the palate.
