Organic lavender blossoms grown in Southern Oregon are added during the cheesemake process, infusing the buttery curds with earthy, floral flavors.

Finding the perfect balance when cooking with lavender is challenging, and we like to think we hit a sweet spot with this cheddar. Many customers agree: this cheese enjoys a cult following among Rogue Valley locals!

    THIS CHEESE. Have you ever seen a field full of Lavender? It’s beautiful. Especially during a summerly sunset. The sky is pink and orange, with a slight overcast. It’s a very calming view. Can you picture it? Okay, Good. Now go into the field and eat the lavender. Yes. Eat it. Eat the plant from the field and enjoy the opulent sunset. They packed this feeling into the La Di Da Lavender Cheddar. I don’t know how Cheddar was able to absorb this feeling.. But they found a way. You will NOT regret your decision with this cheese. Pair it with the Organic Flatbread Bites and you have a certified snack. I would give this Cheddar 6 stars if I could.
