Located in: Cheese, Canada

The red maple leaf has been Canada's national symbol for the past 150 years. It is a tribute to the country's natural beauty and sheer vastness. This Canadian cheddar, which hails from a country where maple syrup production reigns supreme, proudly bears the red maple leaf. Because Canada was a part of the British Empire, cheddar has always been popular there, especially after local production accelerated in the mid 1800's. Our Red Leaf Cheddar is the result of 150+ years of cheddar making expertise. It comes to us in 40 pound blocks, each aged over 12 months. Soft on the palate, yet tangy, this cheddar is different than English cheddar in subtle ways. It is quite nutty, with a beautifully sweet aftertaste. Red Leaf Cheddar is a truly exceptional cheese by any measure.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

From past experience I was expecting something much stronger and firmer in taste and after taste. It is 'ok' but not the robust cheese I remember good Canadian as being.
