Fiscalini Bandaged Cheddar
Modesto, CA
Fiscalini Bandaged Cheddar is traditionally produced by Fiscalini Cheese Company in Modesto, California. This award winning, bandage-wrapped cow’s milk cheddar is soft, buttery with sweet pleasant aroma. It is aged for 18 month to 30 months. During aging, it is hand-turned every day for the first 2 months. The paste is firm, crumbly and straw colored with earthy, nutty and smoky taste. The cheese has won many awards including the Wyke Farms trophy for Best Extra Mature Traditional Cheddar in 2007 and Gold at the World Cheese Awards in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Ken picked this particular connoisseur’s cheddar cheese for its complex, delicious flavor. It is marvelous in its own right but when paired with the truffles, makes the combination out of this world!
