Melis Extra Mature Cheddar Cheese 200g

Sharp, Bold & Robust – Premium Aged British-Style Cheddar

Melis Extra Mature Cheddar (200g) is crafted for the true cheese connoisseur. Aged for a minimum of 12 months to develop its signature complex flavour, this cheddar offers a sharp, tangy bite and a rich, creamy finish. Its firm yet slightly crumbly texture—occasionally punctuated by those sought-after naturally occurring calcium crystals—makes it a standout choice for those who prefer their cheese with character. Whether you're grating, slicing, or enjoying it straight from the block, this 200g pack delivers an intense savoury experience that defines premium quality.

Why Choose Melis Extra Mature Cheddar?

• Intense Aged Flavour: Long-matured to achieve a sophisticated, sharp profile that lingers on the palate.
• Rich, Firm Texture: Holds its shape beautifully for slicing, yet crumbles perfectly for artisanal cheeseboards.
• Versatile Culinary Powerhouse: Adds a deep, savoury "umami" punch to sauces, bakes, and gourmet sandwiches.
• Naturally High in Protein: A dense, nutritious source of calcium and high-quality dairy protein.
• Optimal 200g Size: The perfect portion for maintaining peak freshness in your fridge for weekly meals or a weekend treat.

Serving Suggestions

Melis Extra Mature Cheddar is the ultimate Ploughman’s Lunch hero; pair it with crusty bread, pickled onions, and Bodrum Gherkin Sticks. For the Ultimate Grilled Cheese, combine it with a milder cheese like Melis Mozzarella—you’ll get the perfect stretch with the intense cheddar flavour. It is also an essential ingredient for a Gourmet Macaroni Cheese, providing a sharp contrast to the creamy sauce. For a simple but elegant snack, serve thin shards of this cheddar with crisp apple slices or a handful of Bodrum Chilean Walnuts to balance the saltiness with natural sweetness.
