The youngest of Grafton’s aged cheddars, the 1-year is aged to perfection. It has the classic New England cheddar profile: comforting, tangy and rich. When Grafton is determining which batches to age for their 1 Year Cheddar, they look for a slightly creamier texture and sweet flavors that are best showcased in a relatively young cheese and set it apart. With an aroma of butter, fresh apples, and fresh grass, the flavors start off bright and lemony then evolve into a rich and nutty finish that is both comforting and satisfying. It is a pleasant and mild table cheese that pairs beautifully with sliced apples for a juicy counterpoint to its rich and buttery flavors. This cheddar is perfect for melting and the flavors become milder when melted. Sold in a case of 12 8oz retail packs (unsliced) with ice packs. Product must be refrigerated upon arrival.
