Somerdale Poacher's Cheddar - English Cheddar with Caramelized Onions comes to us from Somerdale; a leading exporter of unique English cheeses. It is a delightful medley of smooth English cheddar and caramelized onions that produces a distinctive tangy flavor with a sweet finish. It has a buff colored interior and a soft texture that becomes slightly crumbly and spreadable at room temperature. Like most cheddars, it is very versatile and is a particularly good melting cheese. Pair with Samuel Smith Organic Lager now available at the Co-op! Brewed with great care using only organic malted barley, organic hops, medium-soft water, and a bottom-fermenting yeast; matured at low temperatures to bring out its delicate flavor and soft hop-character finish. The cold maturation period allows the bottom-fermenting yeasts to secondary ferment and improve this lager’s flavor, purity, and condition. Also pair with an IPA, also available at the Co-op, an acidic white wine such as Riesling, a lighter port, sherry, or bubbly. Suggestions: Serve Somerdale Poacher's Cheddar on crackers, with apples and toast, or crumbled on a salad. Use it to top a hamburger, hotdog, or even pizza. Because it is made with vegetarian rennet, vegetarians can also enjoy it melted over grilled Portobello mushrooms. Try it in your favorite mac and cheese, fondue, and grilled cheese recipes, or add it to creamy soups and pasta sauces.
