Bobolink Dairy - Cheddar XR, 60 months (Milford, NJ, priced per ounce)

This exceptional cheddar is made in collaboration with our Amish friends in Lancaster, PA. Made during the grazing season from the 100% grass-fed raw milk of our colleague's cows, the cheddar is features native cultures and minimal salt. The cheese is aged between 14-24 months, and a natural rind is allowed to form on the outside of the ten pound blocks.

The result? A mellow, distinctive, pleasing, flavorful cheese that appeals to the cheese beginner and expert alike. As it ages, lovely hints of crystallization develop. It even shines in macaroni and cheese or atop chili!
