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.
