Beecher's
| Beecher’s Flagship Cheddar is a semi-hard, artisanal American cheese made from a blend of Holstein and Jersey cow milk, combining English cheddaring with Swiss thermophilic cultures. Produced in Seattle and New York using pasteurized milk and microbial rennet, it features a clean-label ingredient list and a unique sweet, nutty flavor profile with browned butter notes. It is aged from 15 months up to 4+ years in various formats, with moisture and texture varying accordingly. Flagship is prized for its rich taste, crystalline texture, vegetarian suitability, and is central to Beecher’s acclaimed mac & cheese. | |
