Our Apple Cinnamon Cheddar is an American Cheese Society award winner. Each year the American Cheese Society holds a judging and competition in conjunction with their annual conference. An opportunity to shine the spotlight on American cheesemakers by showcasing their talents, we have enjoyed submitting our cheeses over the years. Our Apple Cinnamon Cheddar won awards for its unique and well-balanced combination of apples, cinnamon, and cheddar cheese.

Apples are traditionally a nice accompaniment to cheddar cheese. Perhaps less well-known is the apple pie and cheddar cheese combination. According to Southern Living, “The cheese-apple pie connection is often traced back to England, which is the birthplace of Cheddar and the apple pie. Back in the 17th and 18th century, English pies were often topped with a dairy-based sauce, such as custard. Somehow along the way, Cheddar stepped in for the sauce and the rest was history.” While some people actually enjoy a slice of cheddar atop their slice of apple pie, others prefer slices of cheddar on the side, or even cheddar cheese baked into the pie crust. However the combination, in our Apple Cinnamon Cheddar, we have created the perfect blend of a smooth cheddar, freeze dried premium green apples, and a dusting of cinnamon to create an experience for your taste buds.

Uniquely served anytime, Apple Cinnamon Cheddar will definitely spruce up omelets or quiche. No surprise, it pairs nicely with fruit and light, crispy crackers, and is a perfect addition to your charcuterie board. Try melting it on toasted baguette slices . . . .

In our first years of cheese making, a friend rolled into our cheese shop for a visit and suggested the idea of trying to make an apple cheese. Many years later, we look back remembering that simple suggestion and how it became a cheese we love. We greatly value our customers and their suggestions! In 2010 our Apple Cinnamon Cheddar won third place at the American Cheese Society Judging and Competition in the category “Cheddar with sweet flavorings, fruits, seasonings, herbs, spices, alcohol/spirits.”
