The lush, green pastures of New Zealand's organic dairy farms provide the jumping off point for our Sliced New Zealand Organic Cheddar. The milk used to produce this distinctive cheese comes from cows raised on family owned dairies and treated to a diet of the abundant organic clover and grasses that blanket the pastures of New Zealand's dairy lands. Moderate temperatures (60-75ºF), flowing mountain streams, and abundant rainfall mean that there is ample pasture for grazing year round. Because of their diet, the cows produce incredibly rich and flavorful milk, and that milk, in turn, produces incredibly rich and flavorful cheese. Trader Joe's Sliced New Zealand Organic Cheddar is aged for three to six months, enough time to allow its flavorful, fresh and creamy profile to fully emerge. It's excellent on burgers, as a quick snack, and of course, on sandwiches, cold or hot - try it on a grilled cheese with arugula and fig butter!
