Our Cougar Gold Sharp White Cheddar Cheese continues to develop character as it ages, becoming increasingly sharp in flavor and crumbly in texture. Over time our cheeses also will develop "Cheese Crystals", which are highly valued by cheese lovers across the world for providing an "extra crunch", but also contributing to a hearty and complex flavor profile. Our current stock of cheese is just over one year in age. Our Cougar Gold Sharp White Cheddar Cheese comes prepared in our famous 30oz can.
