The cheese is crafted using time-honored methods, including hand-cheddaring and aging in cloth-bound truckles, which helps develop its distinct texture and complex flavors. Keen's Raw Milk Truckle Cheddar is noted for its deep, rich taste with earthy undertones and a slightly tangy finish, making it a favorite among cheese connoisseurs.
