Urban Meadow Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Urban Meadow Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese delivers bold, tangy flavor that transforms everyday meals into memorable culinary experiences. This aged cheddar cheese belongs to the rich tradition of English dairy craftsmanship, offering the intense, complex taste that serious cheese lovers crave. Extra sharp cheddar develops its distinctive bite through extended aging, typically 18 months or more, which creates crystalline texture and concentrated flavor notes. Urban Meadow's version provides that perfect balance of sharpness and creaminess that makes it incredibly versatile in both cooking and serving applications. The cheese crumbles beautifully when aged to perfection, yet melts smoothly when heated, making it ideal for everything from elegant cheese boards to comfort food classics. This robust cheddar excels in numerous culinary applications throughout American, British, and international cuisines. Grate it over pasta dishes, melt it into grilled cheese sandwiches, or incorporate it into mac and cheese for deeper flavor complexity. The sharp profile cuts through rich ingredients beautifully, making it perfect for baked dishes like casseroles, quiches, and cheese sauces. For entertaining, pair this extra sharp cheddar with crisp apples, crusty bread, and full-bodied red wines or craft beers. It also adds sophisticated flavor to omelets, baked potatoes, and homemade cheese crackers. Store wrapped in wax paper inside a loose plastic bag in the refrigerator, allowing the cheese to breathe while maintaining optimal moisture levels for the best texture and taste.
