Fiscalini Farmstead Cheddar is a big, bold, award-winning cheese made in Modesto, California, where the Fiscalini family has been farming since 1914. Aged 18 months on the farm, this traditional, clothbound cheddar is produced with raw milk from their own herd of Holsteins, giving the cheese a deeply savory, handcrafted expression of place. The extra aging develops a firm, slightly crumbly texture with formation of crunchy protein crystals and a powerful, lingering finish.
The flavor shows classic English-style cheddar personality—sharp, brothy, and full of umami—balanced by notes of salted butter, toasted nuts, caramel, and a hint of grassy sweetness from the cows’ diet. As it warms, the cheese opens further, releasing aromas reminiscent of warm bread crust and aged stock. Slice thick for snacking, crumble over roasted vegetables and baked potatoes, melt into grilled cheese or mac and cheese, or pair with apple pie for a sweet-savory classic.
Fiscalini is one of the few American cheesemakers awarded global recognition for their cheddars, earning multiple international medals for excellence. Their commitment to raw milk production, traditional bandaging, and extended aging places this cheddar among America’s most respected artisan wheels.
