Located in: Cheese, ALL Cheddars

Long a spice blend used in North African, most notably Moroccan cuisine, harissa is becoming more commonly used in the United States. Harissa spice blend usually consists of various roasted chili peppers (indigenous to the region where it is made), toasted cumin seeds, coriander seeds, smoked paprika, chopped parsley, kosher salt and garlic. These spices are then ground, added to some olive oil and formed into a paste of the consistency needed.

For those who enjoy the sharp, robust, tangy flavor of a delicious English cheddar yet are looking for a bit more of a bite…we have just the cheese for you! By adding slivered flakes of harissa spice blend to this firm English cheddar the flavor has been “kicked up,” surprising your palate with little bursts of heat. We think it is rather exciting!

Comments about Cheddar with Harissa:

I didn't know what Harissa tasted like, but I like spice, so I thought it would be interesting. We described the cheese like a spicy "vodka" sauce. It was excellent. I just bought it again for a friend's house. If you're looking for something exciting and out of the ordinary try this!

Comments about Cheddar with Harissa:

One of the best cheeses I've ever eaten. Don't be put off by its exotic description. The spice is subtle and the cheddar itself is absolutely delicious. We dare not waste it on a sandwich. So good you won't miss the crackers...well, maybe just a little bit!
