Deer Creek The Moon Rabbit Cheddar
The Moon Rabbit is a cheddar cheese produced by Deer Creek, a brand known for taking creative spins on classic American styles of cheddar. This cheddar has a light green hue due to the addition of green Chartreuse, a liqueur made from brandy and aromatic herbs.
Flavor, Texture & Appearance Profile:
-
On tasting: it starts like a sweet-finish Cheddar, creamy with some mild cheddar tang, and then the herbal finish emerges with citrus/clove notes due to the Chartreuse.
-
Texture: Because it’s a somewhat aged cheddar, it maintains that firm cheesy texture, but paired with a flavour twist that gives it a novel character.
-
The light green colour is pretty striking in person and is part of the “story” of the cheese (playfully referencing the idea of the “moon made of green cheese”).
Pairing Recommendations:
-
Soft pairings: orange juice or orange sparkling water.
-
Beer: a Belgian witbier like Blue Moon Belgian White.
-
Wine: crisp Chardonnay or sparkling wine.
-
Hard spirits: gin, Green Chartreuse (to tie back to the cheese), or cocktails like the “Last Word”.
-
Nibblies: crusty French bread, pistachios, rosette de Lyon sausage, pears, fresh cherries, orange wedges, or orange-infused dark chocolate.
Ingredients: Pasteurized Milk, Salt, Green Chartreuse, Enzymes, Cultures.
