7 Year Vintage Cheddar - Old Quebec, Third of a Pound

Old Quebec Vintage Cheddar starts in Canada, where it is matured nine to twelve months and then graded on texture, flavor, aroma and color. The wheels that hit the target profile travel to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, for another six years of aging.

Why you'll love it

• Raw cow's milk — unpasteurized, made in Quebec, Canada
• Seven years in total — graded young, then sent south for the long haul
• Crunchy crystals — crystallized amino acids that give the paste its snap
• Robust and fruity — clean flavor with butterscotch and an assertive tang
• Vegetarian rennet — so it fits a vegetarian table

How to enjoy Break off a chunk for a board with apples and walnuts, or grate it over a burger or into macaroni and cheese. It also makes a fine, sharp addition to a ploughman's lunch.

A long aged cheddar with real backbone, and the sort of cheese that makes people stop talking for a second.
