Fiscalini Bandaged Cheddar

Fiscalini Bandaged Cheddar is no longer being produced. Fiscalini Bandaged Cheddar is traditionally produced by Fiscalini Cheese Company in Modesto, California. This award-winning, bandage-wrapped cow's milk cheddar is soft, buttery with a sweet, pleasant aroma. It is aged from 18 months to 30 months; during aging, it is hand-turned every day for the first two months. The paste is firm, crumbly and straw-coloured with earthy, nutty, smokey taste. It tastes super when consumed with apples, pears or apple pie crust. An American Craft Ale or wines such as Pinot Noir, Gamay, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, and Grenache go well with this cheese. The cheese has won many awards, including the Wyke Farms trophy for best extra mature traditional cheddar in 2007, and gold at the World Cheese Awards in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
