This 20-year-old vintage cheddar is a masterpiece of time and patience. As cheddar ages, microbes and enzymes transform the texture, breaking down proteins and milk fat to intensify the flavor and create a truly robust profile. The result is a smooth yet sharp cheese that is bursting with complex character.
Texture:
Smooth and firm, featuring the prominent protein crystallization found only in the finest aged cheeses.
Flavor:
Deeply sharp and tangy with a rich, robust intensity.
Perfect Pairings:
