Tomato Garlic Cheddar is inspired by the simple, honest flavors of a farmhouse kitchen—where ripe tomatoes, fresh garlic, and creamy cheddar come together in dishes meant to be shared. This cheese was created for those who love bold flavor but still want balance, comfort, and versatility in every bite. By starting with a well-made cheddar and carefully blending in real tomato and garlic, the result is a cheese that feels familiar, savory, and deeply satisfying.

How it came to be

Cheddar has always been a natural foundation for added flavors because of its rich body and smooth melt. The idea behind Tomato Garlic Cheddar was to capture the taste of classic comfort foods—think baked pasta, grilled sandwiches, and warm casseroles—without overpowering the cheese itself. Using real tomato pieces and garlic granules allows the flavors to infuse naturally into the cheddar as it ages, creating a cohesive, well-rounded cheese rather than a surface-level seasoning.

What makes it unique

What sets Tomato Garlic Cheddar apart is its balance and authenticity. The tomato brings a subtle sweetness and gentle acidity, while the garlic adds warmth and depth without harshness. Neither ingredient dominates; instead, they enhance the cheddar’s natural creaminess. The result is a cheese that’s bold enough to stand on its own, yet versatile enough to melt, slice, or shred beautifully.
