Redmond Cheddar

Redmond Cheddar is produced by 5 Spoke Creamery located in Westchester, NY. It is a raw milk cheese that comes from their grass-fed herd of Holstein cows. The milk is also pesticide and hormone free, and kosher too!

Redmond Cheddar reminds me of a medium-sharp Cheddar. It has been aged six months. The cheese is a pleasing off-white to pale yellow color. The texture is firm and the paste slightly smooth with a bit of toothiness. The taste is a slightly sharp Cheddar with a slight sweetness. It isn’t salty, but more like salted butter. This was a really nice Cheddar after it had warmed for a couple of hours. It took on some slight citrus notes. It also made some pretty good grilled cheese sandwiches as well, since it had a pretty deep flavor and lacked a lot of saltiness.
