Original Plymouth Cheddar Cheese

Original Plymouth Cheddar Cheese

CHEDDAR AGED 1 YEAR | RAW COW MILK | 8 OZ. WAXED BLOCK
This original Coolidge family formula was discovered by Jesse Werner on a frayed scrap of paper, taped to the walls of the old Plymouth factory. Aged for one whole year, this is a full-bodied cheese, rounded with the perfect balance of cream and tang. It’s the most historic of the English varieties — an old-world recipe with a sharp, rich flavor profile that lingers, like a passed down story — and said to be closest to what the settlers of the 1600s enjoyed. As the great forebearer of the whole Plymouth line, this raw heritage cheddar literally tastes like a walk back in time.
