Keen's Cheddar, a cow's milk cheddar from Somerset, England, has been made by the same family for three generations and is among England's finest farmhouse cheddars. The Keen family uses the West Country tradition of cloth-binding and larding their cheeses and age the large wheels for nearly two years. Keen's Cheddar has a hard texture, distinguished grassy flavor, and hint of spiciness.
Pair it with your favorite India Pale Ale, British or American. Thinking wine? Try Pinot Noir, Beaujolais, Syrah, Port, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, or Chenin Blanc.
