The youngest of Grafton’s aged cheddars. The 1 year cheddar is a mellow, balanced cheese with a rich, satisfying flavor.
A younger version of Grafton’s flagship cheddar, aged one full year to perfection. The 1 Year Aged Cheddar has the classic New England cheddar profile: comforting, tangy and rich. When Grafton is determining which batches to age for their 1 Year Cheddar, they look for a slightly creamier texture and sweet flavors that are best showcased in a relatively young cheese and set it apart.
With an aroma of butter, fresh apples, and fresh grass, the 1 Year Cheddar is mellow yet balanced. The flavors start off bright and lemony then evolve into a rich and nutty finish that is both comforting and satisfying.
Grafton’s 1 Year Cheddar is a truly pleasant and mild table cheese that pairs beautifully to sliced apples for a juicy counterpoint to its rich and buttery flavors. This cheddar is perfect for melting and the flavors become milder when melted. To add extra character to a dish, mix 1 year cheddar with a stronger cheese, like Grafton’s Clothbound Cheddar.
