1lb 8 year old Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese

I have once again ordered this wonderful cheese. It is such a treat. It has great flavor and can enjoy for a long time.

Every Christmas, I surprise my friends and family with a variety of fabulous aged cheddar from Sugarbush--everything from 5-pound blocks of the most delicious 8-year-old to be found on the continent of North America to rare half-pound bars of 13-year-old cheddar, the taste and texture of which simply beggar description. I suppose it is possible that in Heaven, there is cheddar this good, but--at least on earth--flavor and texture of this kind simply don't exist apart from the miracles that the Luce boys manage to offer their delighted and grateful followers year after year after delicious year. This is an extraordinary product offered by a family of lovely people dedicated to culinary excellence. If you haven't tried Sugarbush's oldest available cheddar (8 years and older), you haven't actually tasted true cheddar cheese.

The crystals that have aged for eight years and explode in the mouth are evident in this outstanding cheddar. I’ve purchased in both 2014 and 2017 and the consistency between the years is flawless. Sugarbush Farm has mastered aging cheese in addition to producing second to none maple syrup. This 96 month aged cheddar is a bargain!

This stuff is the Holy Grail of cheddar. Another brand, (won't mention their name here) of "significantly sharp" cheddar can't even hold a candle to this cheese. Has the amazing flavor crystals that serious cheeseheads know and love. Forget trying to slice, this just crumbles. Almost too good to waste on cheese and crackers. If there is a better cheddar available, I haven't found it.

This cheese is terrible!! I recommend that anyone who has purchased this cheese to send their remaining cheese to me for proper disposal! Thanks and I will see to it this cheese disappears!

I am approach-avoidant about writing this review. On the one hand, this is - hands down - the best and sharpest cheddar I've ever had. We first discovered it at the farm about a decade ago and have consistently ordered it since. Try as we might, can't find anything close. It crumbles in the way you want, and we usually don't insult it by adding a cracker. It doesn't need it! The avoidant part? I know there are limited quantities and want to always be able to get our fix! Really, this is the best sharp cheddar available as far as I'm aware, at an amazing price given the quality.

We have been a fan of the 8 year aged cheddar for many years. It has a sharpness and slight crustyness that can not be matched. We send it to our closest friends as gifts and they always want more. This summer we were in Wisconsin and sampled numberous aged cheddar cheeses. Not even the 12 year old cheeses could compare to the quality of this cheese.

Always love ordering and receiving Sugarbush Farms cheese! Also love the fact that they lay back and age some of their cheddars - this almost 8 year old cheddar is excellent!

This cheese is the ne plus ultra of cheddar. C***t Extra-Sharp doesn't even come close. When I put this out at my holiday parties, my guests always ask if it's the "Holy Grail" cheese. Crumbly, with tons of the flavor crystals that only come from long aging, this is a cheese for savoring. It's almost too good for crackers! Makes a great gift for friends too! I discovered Sugarbush Farms cheese at a country store in Queechee back in the early 2000s and I've been going back to the farm several times a year to get my cheese fix ever since.
