Aged Cheese

If you’re looking for some real flavor you’ve come to the right place! We have a wide range of aged cheeses, each more flavorful and delicious than the last. Aged cheese is a very broad term. In a manner of speaking all cheese is aged, whether it be for as little as a week to as long as a decade! For the sake of categorization, however, experts break it down into two categories: fresh and aged cheese. Cheese is generally not considered “aged” until after it has spent at least six months curing in a cave or cellar. Though all cheese starts as nothing more than curds and whey, there is a distinct difference between fresh and aged cheese. While the fresh stuff has a lot of moisture and is generally mild in its flavor profile, aged cheeses have time to develop flavor, color, and sometimes even a crystalline crunchy texture. Along with time comes moisture loss, so the longer a cheese is aged the harder it gets and the more compound the flavors become. True aged cheeses tend to be very firm with sharp intense flavors! Cheeses like Manchego, Gouda, Gruyere, and the ubiquitous Parmesan lend themselves beautifully to this process. So if you’re looking to pack a lot of that savory umami flavor into your dishes look no further than our selection of delicious aged cheese!
