Deer Creek
| The Rattlesnake by Deer Creek Cheese is a medium-aged (3-6 months), high-moisture (37-39%) specialty cheddar from Wisconsin, made with pasteurized, rBST-free cow's milk and vegetarian (microbial or fermentation-produced chymosin) rennet. It employs a "hotrodding" technique, infusing tequila-soaked habanero peppers into smooth, creamy cheddar, creating a spicy, sweet, tropical, and hot flavor profile. The cheese’s texture is semi-firm, elastic, and creamy. Recommended pairings include iced sangria, Mexican lager, and fresh fruit like pineapple. It has earned multiple awards, reflecting its high quality despite bold infused flavors. | |
