Our 12 month aged Hardy Shepherd offers a rich and complex flavour profile. The cheese typically has a firm and slightly crumbly texture. Its taste is nutty and savory, with a hint of sweetness that develops as it ages. You may also notice a slight tanginess, along with earthy notes and a buttery richness. The aging process enhances the cheese's depth, making it more pronounced and robust, with a finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate. 
Overall, it's a delightful balance of flavours that pairs well with fruits, nuts, and robust red wines.
