Avonlea Clothbound Cheddar Cheese

Aged from at least 12 Months, this cheddar is made from the milk of cows from the rolling countryside of Prince Edward Island. All of the milk comes from small local farms around P.E.I and given that no point on the island is no more than 20 miles or so from the sea, with the salt air and the iron-rich red soil, all these things combine to add flavour and quality to the product. Each wheel is lovingly wrapped and turned with care as it ages in the cave. Made with unpasteurized milk – the milk is gently heated, which preserves the micro-organisms and enzymes in raw milk that give cheddar its characteristic flavour. The cloth, which is applied to the exterior of the Avonlea cheddar wheels, allows the cheese to breathe resulting in a rich, robust flavour.
