Earlier this year I sung the praises of aged cheddar from Hook's Cheese in Wisconsin and it seems I'm not alone. There have been a flurry of news reports about the 15-year cheddar which has been selling like crazy to turophiles all around the world. The rarity of the cheese and the distinctive taste have led to a run on the cheese even after the Hooks raised their price to $50 a pound from $39.95 to slow demand. The cheese is expected to sell out this week but Hook will have more of the 15-year old available in around three months. You can also order the 12-year-old cheddar for $50 a pound from the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. All the Hook's aged cheddars have distinctive crunchy bits of calcium crystals which provide sharp bursts of flavor. It's definitely an experience worth having.

hi, thank you for mentioning the cheese store. the correct name is the cheese store of beverly hills, not the cheese shop of beverly hills. and the hooks is amazingly wonderful.
