Kirkland Signature Sharp Cheddar Cheese is a 2-pound block of aged cheddar cheese with a tangy, robust flavor profile. Made from pasteurized milk and aged to develop its characteristic sharpness, this cheese features a firm texture with a slightly crumbly consistency typical of well-aged cheddar.
The cheese is crafted using traditional cheese-making methods with simple, quality ingredients including cultured pasteurized milk, salt, microbial enzymes, and annatto for natural orange coloring. Sharp cheddar is typically aged 6-12 months, allowing enzymes and bacteria to break down components and develop complex flavor compounds that create the distinctive nutty, tangy taste with notes of umami and subtle sweetness.
