Habanero Cheddar | Local Cheese From Oregon, United States of America | TasteAtlas

Habanero Cheddar

Habanero Cheddar is an American cheese hailing from Oregon. This semi-hard cheese is pressed into blocks and it's made from pasteurized cow's milk, habanero chili peppers, and spices. Underneath its natural rind, the texture is crumbly and creamy.


The aroma is spicy, while the flavors are spicy, tangy, and savory. The cheese melts well so it's often used in grilled cheese sandwiches, but it can also be melted over burgers and nachos.
