{"product_id":"applebys-cheshire-lbs","title":"Appleby's Cheshire","description":"\u003cp\u003eAppleby's Cheshire comes from the Appleby family in Whitchurch, Shropshire, right on the Cheshire border in England, and it's one of the last farmhouse Cheshires still made the old way. Raw cow's milk, cloth-bound, hand-made on the farm with milk from their own herd grazing on those salt-rich Cheshire pastures, which is exactly where the mineral pull in this cheese comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paste is pale ivory, firm but moist, and breaks into clean flaky shards under the knife rather than slicing through smooth. Aged six to eight months in cloth, it carries a bright buttermilk tang up front, a soft saline pull through the middle, and a gentle grassy, hay-like note on the finish from the cloth aging. It's tangy without being sharp, crumbly without being dry, right in the sweet spot for a farmhouse Cheshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is real cheddar's older cousin, the recipe people were making before cheddar took over the conversation. The Applebys are one of a handful of producers still making it like this, which makes it a quietly important cheese to have on a board.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gourmet Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46841663783081,"sku":"18085","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/6027\/8185\/files\/tmp4xc0fvyq.jpg?v=1782157194","url":"https:\/\/cheesestore.com\/products\/applebys-cheshire-lbs","provider":"The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills | Domenico's Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
