Vault 5 Cave Aged Cheese 10 lb

Vault No. 5 Cave Aged Cheese (10 lb) is a rich, flavorful cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk. This cheddar stands out due to the inclusion of Alpine-style cultures during its production, contributing to its sweet and nutty flavor profile. The cheese is semi-firm with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, making it perfect for sandwiches or as a stand-alone snack.

One unique aspect of Vault No. 5 is the "larding" process it undergoes, where it's rubbed with animal fat before being wrapped in muslin. This method helps feed the microbes during aging, although no animal byproducts remain in the finished cheese, meaning it is not considered vegetarian.

This cheese is typically best stored in the refrigerator, and it's known for its complex flavor profile built through traditional cheese-making methods.
