Cave Aged

The deep, nutty component of most aged cheese arrives at about the 8th month in the cave. With that in mind, we have compiled the oldest wheels in our cave for a memorable explosion of flavor. Even though these cheeses can rule alone, we added a few condiments, so people can have fun and enhance the strong flavors that this gift pack delivers.   All packed in the black linen valley Shepherd logo bag.  VALLEY THUNDER- Cloth bound Jersey cow Cheddar.
