Start with Some Great Cheese
Longtime Calef’s lovers likely already have a go-to favorite cheese. Head in-store to grab your preferred block, or order it directly to your doorstep. If you are new to Calef’s cheese, we feature several varieties of our signature Snappy Old Cheddar, each aged to perfection. As cheddar ages, it loses moisture, becomes crumbly, and develops tyrosine flavor crystals. If you aren’t sure where to start, we highly recommend our famous Rat Trap Cheese—it is our most popular, best-selling, hand-packed creamy cheddar.
“This is exactly what I have been looking for and it’s so good I can’t get enough. I have gone through several pounds so far and I will be eating so much more. Great choice and delivered straight to the house”
