Vintage Cheddar represents the most mature and aromatic variety of cheddar produced at Davidstow Creamery in Cornwall, part of Saputo Dairy UK. This cheese is aged for over 20 months, giving it an exceptionally rich, full, and complex flavor, with pronounced sharpness, deep nutty notes, and a subtle sweet finish.


Its firm and slightly crumbly texture makes it a true example of traditional English vintage cheddar. Thanks to its intense aroma and depth of flavor, Vintage Cheddar is especially recommended for cheese lovers seeking a bold gastronomic experience.


It is ideal as part of a cheeseboard paired with full-bodied wines or craft beers, as well as an ingredient in premium dishes such as gratins, pies, and specialty sauces.
