A flakey-crumbly textured cheese often includes crunchy calcium lactate crystals and has rich-creamy, and sharp savoury flavours. Enjoy every day in sandwiches, melted in rich sauces, melted over dishes, in paninis, grilled on pizza, with pickles and meat in a ploughmans platter - the possibilities are endless. A staple of every New Zealanders diet, our pasture fed cows milk, aged cheddar is morish as a snack or include on a cheese board.

How to enjoy and care for your Cheese

1. Remove cheese from the refrigerator 1-2 hours before consuming
2. Unwrap the cheese and let it breathe and come to room temperature; this enhances the flavours.
3. When serving together on a board use separate knives for each cheese type (white soft, blue, semi-soft, firm etc).
   
4. Serve with fresh or dried fruit, nuts, preserves and crusty breads (consider what goes with each type of cheese).
   
5. Include a range from mild-soft to medium and strong cheese styles, add names or descriptions.
6. Re-wrap cheese in its original paper/foil or in greaseproof paper or plastic wrap.
7. Store remaining cheese in a refrigerator (at 4°C).
