Award Winner

Jefferson 2 Year Aged Cheddar

$16.00

$16.00

Our classic Northwest-style cheddar is nutty and sweet, with a subtle tangy finish. As cheddar ages, it develops the distinctive “sharp” flavors and grainy texture. This cheddar has been aged on average 2 years, producing a pronounced sharpness that’s balanced by the cheese’s creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. A winner at the 2022 Good Food Awards!

We also offer Jefferson Cheddar in two different styles: Mild (aged a minimum of 30 days), and 1 Year (aged a minimum of 365 days). For these cheeses, Click Here.
