Review: I know this may get me kicked out of my home state of Wisconsin when I go back to visit, but I have to say it. Vermont has the upper hand when it comes to cheese making. Maybe Wisconsin does milk better. I don't know. All I know is that I have not had a better cheddar in my life. End of story.

This naturally aged cheddar packs a bite and flavor unmatched by anything that Packerland has ever churned out. Though dry and powerful in flavor, there is still an underlying creaminess to this white cheddar. It is a disappointment that this is another product that doesn't claim to stay away from factory farming or rBGH, but I will admit that it would be hard for me to switch brands based solely on those factors. With a taste like this, even sensible health concerns fall to the wayside.

Sometimes my hedonistic tendencies disgust me. Of course, we're talking about curdled milk and mold here, so who's going to split hairs with that?
