Mainland Vintage Aged Cheddar

Mainland is a New Zealand cheese maker that has been in operation for over half a century. Using only natural ingredients and milk from grass fed cows, their cheeses are carefully crafted with a core belief that “good things take time.” Their 'Vintage' aged cheddar is one of their most mature, having aged for up to 24 months. The strong and sharp flavors of Vintage make it perfect for bold recipes. The firm texture makes it easy for cutting and preparing. Tasting notes: Acidic and savory notes with a flaky crumbly texture. If you like how cheddar-y this one is, step up to the 36 months aged Epicure variety. For a fun blast from the past, we loved this 1991 advertisement for Mainland on New Zealand TV: Ingredients: Grass-fed milk, salt, cultures, enzyme (animal rennet)
