Old Croc
| Old Croc Grand Reserve Cheddar is an extra-sharp, vintage cheddar from Victoria, Australia, imported to the U.S. by Trugman-Nash. Made from pasteurized milk of grass-fed cows without hormones, it uses vegetable rennet, making it vegetarian-friendly. Aged at least two years, it has a low-moisture, crumbly texture with calcium lactate crystals. The flavor is bold, savory, nutty, and sharp with a creamy yet granular mouthfeel. It pairs well with bold red wines, IPAs, and foods like smoked sausage and Granny Smith apples. The brand was created in 2012 and emphasizes Australian heritage and high-quality production. | |
