Totara Tasty Cheddar

Totara Tasty Cheddar

Size

Sharp, punchy with a savoury aftertaste. Our Totara Tasty Cheddar has a hard, crunchy texture, the crunchiness coming from the crystals in the cheese that form

Aged 18-24 months this is a classic strong flavoured vintage cheddar with a crunchy texture and sharp finish. Cheddar made the way they made them in the “old days”. 

This cheese is named after Totara, a small settlement just south of Oamaru. It’s home to the historic Totara Estate—the birthplace of New Zealand’s frozen meat industry—and just up the road from where Whitestone Cheese was founded.

Match with...

  • Cab merlot, cab sav or shiraz or a Strong dark ale, dark lager.
  • Serve at room temperature on your cheese board paired with sweet chutneys or try it as a cheese roll filling, in savoury muffins or on pizzas.


Please note that weights are approximate, actual weights may vary.
