Aged cheddar
Aged cheddar delivers complex, nutty, and umami-rich flavors with a firm texture and often sharp, tangy notes that develop during aging. The pronounced flavor intensity and slight saltiness call for beverages with enough body and character to stand up to the cheese while offering complementary notes that enhance its complexity.
