The fan-favorite Somerdale Grand Reserve Champagne Cheddar is available in waxed rounds, and a new 5.3-ounce waxed parchment flow wrap format that's perfect for elevating special and everyday celebrations.
At the upcoming Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City, Somerdale will showcase and sample its broad range of cheeses for festive entertaining in the last quarter of the year.
