Old Croc
| Old Croc Extra Sharp Cheddar is a hard, aged cheddar produced in Victoria, Australia, using 100% pasteurized, grass-fed, non-GMO cow’s milk. It is aged a minimum of 18 months, developing a sharp, tangy, nutty flavor with a firm, crumbly texture and characteristic calcium lactate crystals. The cheese uses vegetable rennet, making it vegetarian-friendly, and undergoes trans-Pacific aging with final maturation in Wisconsin, USA. Known for its bold acidic bite and creamy mouthfeel, it pairs well with Shiraz and dark beer styles and is complemented by Granny Smith apples, multigrain crackers, pickles, and dark chocolate. | |
