* 2023 5th Place Natural Rind Cheddar at the US Cheese Championship * * 2022 3rd Place Farmstead Cheese at the American Cheese Society Contest * Our cave-aged Margie Cheddar is notably the sharpest cheddar we make. When you dig in, you may discover tyrosine crystals, a form of calcium lactate that looks and tastes much like salt that’s found in several aged cheeses. This aged cheddar crumbles easily and is the perfect cheese to add to your cheeseboard. Sharp, with fruity and tangy notes, Margie Cheddar gets its name from redheaded sister number 4, Maggie. Maggie also describes herself as sharp, fruity, and becoming a little salty with age. Pairs well with semi-dry to dry red wines or hoppy IPAs. Our Born On Dates do not affect the shelf life of our hard cheeses. These dates tell you how long the cheese has been aged. Please refer to your shipment date for the beginning of the 6 month shelf life.
