Cows Creamery Avonlea Clothbound Cheddar

Avonlea Clothbound Cheddar's recipe comes from the Orkney Islands, north of mainland Scotland and is hand made in the style of the great traditional English cheddars.

The milk of Holstein cows from the small local farms in the rolling hills of Prince Edward Island, is gently heated, but not pasteurized to allow beneficial microbes to thrive and give depth of character and flavour. The salt air and iron-rich soil of Prince Edward Island combine to add flavour and quality to this cheddar.

Details

• Aged for 12 – 16 Months at 10 – 12 degrees Celsius and 90% humidity
• Microbial rennet is used and no colour is added
• Our cheese is all natural
• Made with unpasteurized milk - The milk is gently heated, which preserves the microorganisms and enzymes in raw milk that give cheddar its characteristic flavor.
• The cloth, which is applied to the exterior of the wheels, allows the cheese to breathe resulting in a rich, robust flavour.
• Some discoloration on the outer side of the cheese where it was wrapped is normal.
