Cheddar cheese aged 6 years is an extra-aged, intensely sharp cheese with a powerful, concentrated flavor. Its texture is firm to crumbly, often with visible calcium crystals that add a pleasant crunch and amplify its savory depth. The taste is bold, tangy, and deeply nutty with a long, lingering finish. Also available in white. It’s best used sparingly—shaved over pasta, risotto, roasted vegetables, or salads, or crumbled onto soups and baked dishes to add a strong umami kick.
