Name: No Woman Cheddar Brand: Beecher's Handmade Cheese
Place of Purchase: Cub Foods in Ames, Iowa
Country/Region of Origin: Made in Pike Place Market Market in Sunny Seattle, Washington
Milk: pasteurized cow
Processing: an artisan cheddar with added sugar, cane vinegar, onions and other spices.
Texture: hard
Color: pale yellow with dark caramel veining
Rind: No rind on the piece that that bought, but cheddar usually has a natural rind
Aroma: very mild diary, onion, vinegar, pepper
Taste: the fattiness of the cheddar delivers the jerk seasonings in waves of tart and spicy.
Mouth feel: Like a high-quality cheddar, with raisins in it.
Notes: I really only got one raisin in my 8 oz piece. It tasted nothing like a raisin. It had absorbed all of the flavor of the onions and peppers. The neat thing about this cheese is the variety of flavor throughout the cheese. Because of the random veining, you get some bites that have the sting of the vinegar, some that have the spice of the pepper, and a smooth creamy onion cadence to the whole cheese.
It makes me want to see what else Beecher's has to offer.
