Hopyard Cheddar

By adding organic, Northwest-grown hop blossoms to our cheddar as we stir the curds, we created a floral, herbal cheese with subtle, pleasant bitterness and a buttery finish.

Flavor

APPEARANCE: Pale yellow-white with flecks of green hop blossom distributed throughout.

TEXTURE: Moderately firm and sliceable, with a creamy, smooth finish

TASTE: Floral and herbaceous, with sweet-yet-bitter undertones.

PAIRINGS:

  • This cheese adds intriguing flavors to any recipe, and elevates your standard grilled cheese to new heights.
  • While Hopyard is quite enjoyable with a variety of juicy white wines – including Pinot Gris and Riesling – it shines best beside a pint of IPA or any other ale.
