Old Quebec Vintage Cheddar is a traditionally aged Canadian cheddar made in Quebec. This cheese is cured a minimum of three years and is only sold when the flavor meets our standards. Actual age of this cheese will range between three and four years and occasionally, longer. Following manufacture, the cheddar is allowed to rest for nine to twelve months, after which it is graded on the basis of texture, flavor, aroma, and color. Because of the low moisture level the cheese will be crumbly and occasionally have some salt-like crystals. The premium vats are selected for export to Lancaster County, PA to continue maturing. At two years of age the cheese is re-graded with the best cheese receiving at least an additional one-year aging time. This develops into the super sharp Old Quebec Vintage Cheddar.
