Heritage in the making

Tradition in every bite

In our process of aging cheese, flavor is not just developed; it's cultivated. Starting with 100% Canadian milk sourced directly from local farms, the journey from farm to plate begins.  As the cheese matures, each day adds depth and character, transforming it into a distinctive flavor profile over time. This dedication to quality, from the hands of farmers to the expertise of cheesemakers, ensures that every bite tells a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and Canadian terroir.

Round flavours and sharp notes

Notes

The 3 year cheddar is the tipping point between an all-round cheese and a charcuterie board cheese. It’s had time to develop the complex nutty flavours that we love.

The all-round aged cheddar

Notes

4 year aged cheddar hits a sweet spot between texture, mouth-feel and taste. It’s not yet hit peak crumbliness, and the salt crystals are just starting to form.

Bold, strong flavours

Notes

Our 5 year cheddar is a particularly good cheddar, with a delicious creaminess and complex flavour profile. It starts strong before mellowing out.

Better with age, and LOTs of TLC

Notes

Our 10 year cheddar is special. A deep, bold flavour. Perfect on its own. Cheddar becomes almost like butter when aged this long, enveloping your taste buds.
