Located in: Cheese, England

This dense, crumbly cheese derives its mild saltiness from the pastures of the Cheshire plain. England's oldest-known cheese, it is reddish-orange in color and has a slightly tangy flavor. Cheshire is ripened for two to three months, more aged than a typical Double Gloucester but less than most cheddars. Immensely popular and widely copied, a true cheese lover should be quite familiar with this longtime classic.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
Photo depicts whole 9 lb. form of cheese.
We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.
