Bravo Cheddar

Opening Bravo Farms dairy in 1979, Pat and Bill Boersma became pioneers in California's burgeoning farmstead cheese movement. Up until February of 2006, Bravo Farms had their own herd of cows in Visalia but they sold it to a neighbor in order to focus solely on cheesemaking. Now, when they need milk, they just buy it back from their old herd.

White and firm with a creamy consistency, this cheddar is aged for at least one year to achieve a sharp and balanced flavor.
