Niagara Gold Upper Canada Cheese Co. • Jordan Station, Ontario Handcrafted from the milk of a single herd of Guernsey cows pastured in Niagara, then hand washed and turned regularly during ripening to create the aromatic golden washed rind and complex sweet, grassy to fruity flavours that become more pronounced with age. Balderson 3-Year Old Cheddar* Parmalat • Balderson, Ontario Hand selected by the master cheesemaker after three years of natural aging. This mature, premium cheddar has a dense body and smooth texture with a bit of graininess. The taste delivers a wonderfully clean, sharp ‘bite’ with notes of fruit and salt.
