SO MANY CHEESES, TOO MANY WAYS TO COOK!

Ever heard of the immortal milk? The one which is a whole food and is a rich source of Calcium, Fat, Protein, high amounts of Vitamin A, B-12, Zinc, Phosphorus and Riboflavin. Does it ring a bell? If no, does cheese sound familiar? 

Throughout history, people have used fermentation as a method to preserve perishable food. And our beloved cheese is the immortal form of milk that dates back to 8000-5000 BCE.  

Cheddar is a very popular semi-hard and natural cheese that is slightly crumbly in texture. It has its origins in Somerset, England. Made from cow’s milk, the flavour ranges from mild to sharp, depending on how long it is aged for.  

Cheddar cheese melts very well. Depending on how long it is aged for, the cheese may take slightly longer to melt, but it works brilliantly in recipes where cheese is preferred molten, like cheese sauces, grilled cheese sandwiches etc.  

Akshayakalpa offers a wide variety of great quality Organic Artisanal Cheddar Cheeses and Pizza Cheese. The range of Akshayakalpa Organic Artisanal Cheeses include:  

1. Mild Cheddar – Aged for a short amount of time, it melts really well.

2. Aged Cheddar – It has a sharper taste from the ageing, a little harder, good for snacking with fruits or for a cheese board and it also melts well.

3. Chilli Cheddar – A spicy flavoured cheddar enhanced by the addition of chillies.

4. Pepper Cheddar – Wonderful flavour of crushed pepper along with an amazing quality cheddar.

5. Smoked Cheddar – This has a wonderful aroma from the cheese being smoked that just elevates the flavour.

6. Pizza Cheese – A delicious cheese that gets beautifully stringy when melted and gives you a perfect cheese pull!
