5 Year Cheddar Cheese 16oz

At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, we believe aging builds character — and our 5-Year Aged Cheddar proves it. After five years of careful maturation, this cheddar develops depth, complexity, and a texture that’s firm, slightly crumbly, and beautifully crystallized.

Why It Stands Out

Over time, moisture slowly dissipates, and the cheese’s proteins break down. As a result, you experience sharper flavors, a more concentrated profile, and the signature crunch of calcium crystals. Many aged cheddars take this path to transform from smooth to striking.

This cheese delivers:

• Bold, tangy flavor — sharper and richer than younger cheddars
• Firm yet crumbly texture, with visible crystals that delight the bite
• Balanced aging — rich without being brittle
• Artisan care — matured in stable, controlled conditions
• Pure ingredients — milk, cultures, salt, enzymes, and annatto

Serving & Pairing Ideas

To get the most out of this aged cheddar:

• Break it into shards for cheese boards or tasting flights
• Pair with dried fruits, nuts, dark chocolate, or honey to balance the savory edge
• Accompany it with bold red wines, stouts, or barrel-aged spirits
• Grate or shave it sparingly over roasted vegetables or savory soups
• Enjoy it on its own, at room temperature — that’s when its full profile opens

With each bite, this cheese tells the story of time, patience, and the art of aging.
