2 Year Aged Cheddar
Our one-year-aged Cheddar Fromage Affine has been so popular we decided to take things to the next level.
Now we are offering a 2-year-aged Cheddar for the sharp cheese lovers in our tribe! With twice the age maybe it will be twice as good... :)
This 2 year Cheddar has enough age to enhance the flavor, but yet in my opinion it hasn't reached the "very sharp" aged cheese flavor that is too strong for some people.
I'd be glad to hear what you think once you give it a try... Should we add "Sharp" to this cheese name?

This is Truly Raw Cheese. To respect and preserve the healing power of raw milk's enzymes, probiotics, fats and proteins, we only warm the milk to 102 degrees F. (cow body temperature) during cheese making. Many "raw" cheeses are heated to just below legal pasteurization temperature of 161 degrees F. Heating cheese that much kills off many of the good bacteria that helps your body digest dairy.
Another benefit of our grass-fed raw milk cheese is the high amounts of naturally occurring Omega-3s and CLAs. Grass-fed Cow milk/cheese has about 3 times more of these healthy fats compared to the regular conventional milk/cheese you find the grocery stores.
Omega-3s promote good heart health and overall enhanced brain function.
CLAs are one of the best nutritional methods of defending against cancer and atherosclerosis.
P.S. If you are looking for a seriously aged "sharp" cheese you can buy a few extra blocks of this cheese and store it in the refrigerator for 6-12 months. If you have enough blocks in the aging process you can open one ever couple months to test the progress and find out what stage your prefer. :)
Note for UPS Home Delivery Orders: If you have meat on your order, this cheese will ship frozen because we need to use dry ice in all meat orders. The flavor of the cheese will not be affected, but it could crumble easier as you slice it. If you do not want your cheese frozen you should purchase it on an order with only refrigerated items.
