| Beecher’s Marco Polo is a high-quality, artisanal flavored cheddar-style cheese made from a blend of Jersey (80%) and Holstein milk, incorporating lightly milled black and green peppercorns as integral flavor components. Pasteurized and produced with microbial rennet and a unique culture blend, it offers two aging styles: Standard (vacuum-aged, creamy, 4–8 months) and Reserve (clothbound, crumbly, 12+ months). The cheese is rich in fat (10g/oz), melts well, and balances savory and spicy notes with buttery and nutty flavors. Marco Polo is award-winning, pairs well with select wines and beers, and exemplifies sophisticated artisan cheese craftsmanship. | |
