Yet another unique and flavorful addition to Plymouth cheese’s excellent selection of products, this Sambal variation offers a spicy kick that beautifully complements the buttery complexity of their cheddar.
The ideal union of familiar and exotic, the zesty chili-based condiment popular in South-East Asian cuisine feels at home paired with the bold taste of cheddar cheese. The base of this cheese is Plymouth's signature raw cow's milk cheddar, known for its creamy texture and rich, nutty flavor. The addition of house-made Sambal introduces a tantalizing heat that elevates the cheese to a new level.
Plymouth takes pride in its meticulous cheese-making. Each wheel of Sambal Cheddar undergoes a careful aging process in their aging cave, allowing the flavors to develop and intensify. The skilled cheese makers monitor and turn the wheels regularly, ensuring that every bite delivers the perfect balance of creamy spiciness.
Plymouth Artisan Cheeses has a long cheese-making heritage. The second oldest producer in the U.S., the enterprise was founded in the 19th century when John Calvin Coolidge Sr. built the facility and started making its first cheeses. Revived in 2009 by Jesse Werner and his wife, Plymouth has carried those traditions into today, creating some of the finest Vermont cheddars on the market.
For a simple yet satisfying experience, try it with crusty bread, sliced apples, or honey for a sweet and spicy contrast. It also adds a bold kick to sandwiches, burgers, and charcuterie boards.
