About Aged Hard Cheese
Aged Hard cheese is a firm cheese known for its crumbly texture and rich, concentrated flavor. As it ages, its flavors become more pronounced, developing savory, nutty notes with hints of caramel. This cheese often has a granular texture and tiny crystals that give it a satisfying crunch. The rind is typically firm and sometimes slightly waxy, providing a sharp contrast to the cheese's interior. Aged Hard cheese is a popular choice for grating over pasta dishes, salads, or soups, adding depth and umami to meals. It's also enjoyed on its own or paired with fruits and nuts. Suitable for those who appreciate bold and mature flavors, Aged Hard cheese is a staple in many kitchens.
