Keen's Raw Milk Extra Mature Cheddar, made by Keen's Cheddar, is a traditional English cheese crafted with meticulous care. This cheddar is made using unpasteurized cow's milk from the family's own herd, which imparts a depth of flavor that is distinct to raw milk cheeses.


Matured for an extended period, this cheese develops a complex taste profile characterized by a robust and tangy flavor with earthy undertones, differentiating it from its younger counterparts. The texture is firm yet crumbly with noticeable crystals that form as a result of the aging process, offering a gratifying crunch.


Keen's Cheddar oversees this aging process in their historic cheese store rooms, ensuring the cheddar reaches optimal maturity before it reaches the consumer.
