ROCKSTAR CHEDDAR

This distinctively rich cave-aged cheddar is matured to perfection within Welsh slate caverns, a former mine in the heart of Snowdonia.  Crafted in 2020 by expert cheesemakers using a very special recipe and profile, only the finest cheese is selected to be transferred deep into the caves.  Once there, it completes its 18-month maturation in sealed slate chambers for the optimum development of the cheddar’s distinctive flavour and characteristics.  It has a deliciously savoury aroma, while its texture is irresistibly smooth and creamy with the occasional crunchy crystal – a highly desirable characteristic of aged cheeses.  On the palate, its complex umami flavours are as deep as the caverns it is aged in.  Sweet caramel notes then lead to a long finish with a savoury tang.  For centuries, underground caves have been used as an environment for ageing cheese. Their consistent temperature, higher humidity and low barometric pressure create the ideal condition for cheese to mature.  This is the star of any cheese board.
