What is "Sharp" Cheese?The term "Sharp" when used in reference to cheese denotes a stronger flavor as a result of a longer aging process. Many cheese connoisseurs prefer sharper, more mature cheeses.
Some of our other more mature cheeses include Asiago, Canadian Cheddar, Manchego, Parmesan, Romano, and Sharp Swiss.
Our Orange and White cheddars are both medium sharp.

American
cheese is a common processed cheese. It is orange, yellow,
or white in color and mild in flavor, with a medium-firm consistency,
and melts
easily. American cheese was originally only white, but is now
generally
orange. It has traditionally been made from a blend of cheeses, most
often
Colby and Cheddar.
American
cheese has long been a mainstay in popular American cuisine,
most notably on cheeseburgers, in grilled cheese sandwiches, and in
macaroni
and cheese.
History
of American Cheese
British colonists began making cheddar
as soon as they arrived in America. By 1790, American cheddars were
being
exported back to England. The British referred to American cheddar as "American
cheese," or "Yankee cheese," and post-Revolution Americans
promoted this usage to distinguish the exports of their proud new nation
from
European cheese.
Wine Pairing with American Cheese
While processed American
cheese is usually not
considered the most sophisticated cheese, it is a blend of Colby and
Cheddar
cheeses and pairs well with the same wine varieties. American cheese pairs well with
Zinfandel, Syrah, and
Shiraz wines. White wine
lovers
can enjoy Riesling with their American cheese. |
