17 YEAR WHITE CHEDDAR

Intensely Sharp, Crumbly, Legendary
The cheddar that doesn’t just make an entrance… it leaves a lasting impression.

This 17 Year White Cheddar is the kind of cheese that earns instant respect. Aged for an extraordinary seventeen years, it delivers a deeply concentrated cheddar flavor that’s bold, nutty, savory, and unmistakably sharp. The bite is intense, but not wild — it’s layered, mature, and balanced by a rich, lingering depth that only extreme aging can create. Sellers of 17-year white cheddar describe it as super sharp with a distinct bite, while very old cheddars in the 15-year range are often noted for rich, full-bodied, nutty flavor and a tangy finish.

Its texture is everything aged-cheddar lovers hope for: firm, crumbly, slightly dry, and dotted with those little crunchy crystals that make each bite feel like a reward. Those crystals are a natural sign of aging and form as proteins break down over time, creating the pleasantly crunchy texture prized in well-aged cheeses. White cheddar also skips annatto coloring, so what you get is cheddar in its natural, pale form.

Tasting Notes:
Nutty · Savory · Intensely Sharp · Crumbly, Crystal-Kissed Finish
(This one doesn’t whisper cheddar. It declares it.)

Perfect Pairings:
• Serve with crisp apples, pears, fig jam, dried cherries, or roasted nuts
• Add to burgers, grilled cheese, or shave over baked potatoes for a bold finish
• Pair with Chardonnay, Champagne, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, cider, or a sturdy amber or pale ale
Retailers for long-aged cheddar recommend pairings like Chardonnay, Champagne, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir, while aged cheddar more broadly is often paired with cider and fuller-flavored beers.
