{"product_id":"mclelland-vintage-scottish-cheddar","title":"McLelland Vintage Scottish Cheddar","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe’re taking your tastebuds on a tour of the rural Scottish countryside, just a little ways out from the coastal town of Stranraer in Scotland’s southwestern corner. It’s here that cheesemakers have been plying their craft for centuries, and in the case of this cheese’s esteemed supplier, particularly perfecting their aging techniques. And indeed, McLelland Vintage Scottish Cheddar is so marvelously matured (for at least 20 months, we should add) that every bite is rich, crumbly, and delightfully sharp; replete with crunchy little crystals of calcium lactate that are a hallmark of expert aging. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcLelland Vintage Scottish Cheddar makes a welcome addition to any cheese plate or charcuterie spread, especially one that’s accompanied by a jammy red wine, a dry hard cider, or a crisp red ale. That said, it’s also a superb cheese for simply snacking on in cubes or crumbles, right out of the fridge. We find that its refined, smooth, faintly nutty flavor and elegant texture (punctuated, of course, by those pleasant pops from the calcium crystals) are also quite suited for accessorizing with a quick spread of our Organic Mango Chutney.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kate's Crates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43535123644458,"sku":null,"price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/8348\/2666\/files\/webp-1280_826991f8-8202-4467-9efe-ad39cc76f4ee.webp?v=1757625396","url":"https:\/\/katescrates.myshopify.com\/products\/mclelland-vintage-scottish-cheddar","provider":"Kate's Crates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
