Cheddar - Aged 5 Years

For cheese lovers who crave that bold flavor that only lengthy aging can provide! Hook’s 5-Year Cheddar delivers a punch of sharpness and complexity that only comes from half a decade of aging. It’s made from Wisconsin cow’s milk and aged in Hook’s own curing caves, slowly developing a dense, crumbly texture with those prized calcium crystals that give it a subtle crunch. The flavor is deep and intense—rich with notes of caramel and a slight nuttiness, while still maintaining that classic cheddar tang.

The long and slow aging process in Hook's dark, temperature controlled caves allows the cheese to develop a sharp, savory edge that is unmatched. It pairs beautifully with fruit preserves or honey, and a juicy crisp apple. Perfect to slice it up for your cheese board and great for melting and cooking, so try it grated over pasta for an extra flavor boost.

This cheddar is bold enough to hold its own against a full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or a robust stout. Go the extra mile and savor with a glass of bourbon to enhance its rich, nutty profile.
