Deer Creek The Fawn Cheddar
Deer Creek The Fawn Cheddar
The Fawn is Deer Creek’s handcrafted, bandage-wrapped Wisconsin cheddar of moderate age with a sweet-nutty flavor, buttery-caramel undertones, and a refined finish that is flavorful but not extreme.
Flavor & Texture Profile:
-
On tasting: The Fawn opens with a delicate impression, then builds into a rich finish that lingers.
-
Flavor: Has a sweet nuttiness with buttery and caramel/toffee-like notes.
-
Texture: Because it’s relatively young (compared to long-aged cheddars), it tends to be firm but not ultra-hard, making it sliceable.
Pairings & Serving Suggestions:
-
Suggested pairings:
-
Soft pairings: Spiced apple cider.
-
Beer: Porter or amber ale.
-
Wine: Chardonnay, dry rosé, Prosecco or Port.
-
Nibblies: Cashews, grapes, apples, dried cherries, pistachios, blackberries, dried apricots, fresh spring greens, or sweet walnuts drizzled with olive oil.
-
- Serving: Let it reach near room temperature to emphasize the flavors. Slice or cube it for a cheese board.
Ingredients: Pasteurized Milk, Salt, Enzymes, Cultures.
