Hot Pepper Cheddar

If you’re looking for something bold and spicy, this is the cheddar for you. Hot Pepper Cheddar by Plymouth Artisan Cheese is a zesty blend of habanero and jalapeño peppers into Plymouth’s artisanal cheese recipe. It’s smoky, hot, and the winner of a 2015 American Cheese Society award. The master cheesemakers at Plymouth age this tangy cheddar for sixty days and use their revitalized granular curd recipe. This creates varying amounts of heat in every bite.

As an artisanal take on American pepper jack, Plymouth uses raw milk sourced from local herds with no antibiotics or additives. The quality of the milk has a direct correlation to the quality of the cheese, and Plymouth only uses the freshest milk Vermont offers. This blend of ingredients and process creates a bold and lively cheddar that represents the same quality you can always count on from the Plymouth factory.

Plymouth Artisan Cheddar is the vision of master cheesemaker Jesse Werner. As a native Vermonter, he took his vision of revitalizing the Plymouth Cheese Factory to heart and implemented the Old-World style and recipes they used when the factory was first opened in 1890. Some of the original equipment is used to blend their artisanal cheese with spices and elements from all over the world. Each product is also hand waxed the traditional way to preserve the spicy, rich flavors in this innovative cheddar.
