Cottonwood River Cheddar

Cottonwood River Cheddar is a raw milk aged cheddar with a unique process that develops a flavor that is sharp but not tangy, and it has a nutty sweetness that stands out. The texture is still creamy but with more of a crystalline crunch. The color is a pale yellow from the small amount of annatto that is added to the milk at the beginning of the cheesemaking process. It is aged for about a year. A note on this cheddar, certain pieces of this cheese will have a white crystalline structure on the outside that can be mistaken for mold, but it is a natural formation of tyrosine (the crunchy bits that make aged cheese tastier).

Ingredients: Cultured Milk, Salt, Rennet, Enzymes, Annatto (color).
