Sonically Aged Cheese Snacks

Cheez-It and Pandora Created a First-of-Its-Kind Snack with Music

— May 18, 2022 — Lifestyle
Cheez-It and Pandora came together to create limited-edition, sonically aged cheese snacks using music from iconic hip-hop artists. The Aged by Audio crackers are made with 100% real cheese and the unusual collaboration was inspired by a Swiss study out of the Bern University of the Arts in Bern that found aging cheese to hip-hop music could strengthen the taste and smell.

A limited run of Cheez-It x Pandora Aged by Audio boxes are dropping online and fans also have the chance to experience the Aged by Audio mixtape curated by the music and sonic experts at Pandora. This "first-ever hip-hop-infused snack" is being introduced to the world with executive producer and SiriusXM radio host Sway, who will be sharing a YouTube series on Living Legendz.
