 Cheddar

This distinctive white Cheddar is fused with vibrant green and red peppers, creating a colourful and flavourful cheese inspired by Uncle Thom Kasselman. Crafted using traditional cheesemaking methods, the creamy Cheddar base provides a smooth, balanced foundation for the gentle warmth and sweetness of paprika and peppers.

The result is a cheese that is mild yet expressive, offering subtle spice, savoury depth, and a pleasing visual appeal. Smooth in texture with a lively finish, Paprika Cheddar brings character and warmth without overpowering the palate, making it both approachable and memorable.

Recommended Pairing

Paprika Cheddar pairs best with simple accompaniments that allow its subtle spice and colour to shine. Serve with plain crackers, crusty bread, or lightly toasted sourdough to highlight its creamy texture. A mild chutney or roasted red pepper relish complements the paprika notes without masking the cheese’s natural flavour. Perfect for sharing platters or casual entertaining, this cheese adds vibrancy and personality to any spread.
Food Pairing

This Paprika Cheddar is a versatile choice for everyday cooking and relaxed meals. Slice it into sandwiches or toasties for a gentle kick, or grate it over burgers, baked potatoes, and savoury bakes for added warmth and colour. It also works well in omelettes, quiches, and pasta dishes, where the paprika enhances the overall flavour.

Serve it as part of a cheese board or incorporate it into dishes that benefit from a mild, aromatic spice and creamy finish.

The mild spice and creamy texture of Paprika Cheddar pair well with fresh, fruit-forward wines. A crisp Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc balances the paprika warmth while keeping the palate bright. For a slightly richer option, a lightly oaked Chardonnay complements the cheese’s smoothness.

If pairing with red wine, choose a light-bodied Pinot Noir or Cinsault with soft tannins, allowing the cheese’s subtle spice to remain the focus.

Paprika Cheddar brings colour and flavour to charcuterie boards. Pair it with cured meats such as salami, smoked chicken, or mild chorizo to echo its gentle spice. The cheese’s creamy texture balances well with savoury and lightly smoked meats.

Complete the board with olives, pickled vegetables, roasted nuts, and crusty bread or crackers. Add fresh fruit or a mild chutney for contrast, creating a lively, well-balanced spread that showcases this cheese’s unique character.
