Murray's
| High Plains Cheddar, distributed by Murray’s Cheese, is a private-label version of Prairie Breeze from Milton Creamery, Iowa. This artisanal, semi-hard cheese blends traditional Cheddar structure with Alpine flavors thanks to *Lactobacillus helveticus* cultures. Made from pasteurized cow’s milk sourced from small Amish/Mennonite farms, it uses vegetarian rennet and ages a minimum of 9 months, yielding a crumbly yet creamy texture with tyrosine crystals. It features a sweet, nutty, fruity profile with notes of pineapple and almond. The cheese pairs well with rosé, crisp whites, medium reds, various beers, and both sweet and savory foods. | |
