vintage cheddar
Long-aged British cheese
Vintage cheddar is cheddar cheese that has been aged for an extended period, typically eighteen months to several years.
The long aging produces a sharper, more complex flavor and a drier, more crumbly texture than younger cheddars: a wedge of vintage cheddar with crackers.
The term lacks precise regulation, so aging times vary by producer.
