Our review of this sharp cheddar cheese from Australian. The cheese is said to have a delightfully bold bite!
There are billions blocks of cheddar you can find at the grocery store.
Maybe not billions, but options are not limited. It's not something unusual or special.
So how do you make another block of cheddar cheese stand out? Well of course put an crocodile on the package.
Trugman-Nash distributes Australian cheese under their Old Croc brand. When I checked out their website, my kids wondered what I was doing when they heard the sounds in nature you would expect to hear around a crocodile.
Old Croc Extra Sharp has been aged for 18 months and comes in an 7 oz square. It is made with 100% grass fed milk. The cows are not treated with any kind of growth hormones.
The cheese has a pleasant bite to it way better than you are going to get from the store brand sharp cheddar that so many buy. I find those cheeses to be just sharp with no real flavor. This cheese was creamy, full flavored, with a slight nutty taste. It worked really well in mac & cheese!
? What is Unique About Australian Cheddar?
Think about where Australia is. All by it's lonesome. The grass that grows there isn't going to be exactly like the grass that grows here in Michigan. They say you are what you eat, well a cow's milk is effected by what it eats. Naturally an Australian cheddar is going to taste a bit different than an Irish cheddar or an American cheddar. A good reason to make up a cheddar cheese board with various options from around the world.
? Cheese Age
Old Croc has several different cheddars of different ages including
- 3+ months
- 9+ months
- 18+ months
- 2+ years
