Edward Zahn discovered blocks of cheese up to 40 years old at the back of his cheese shop's cooler.
The cheese was stored in wooden boxes that had been unintelligently overlooked, allowing it to age by several decades. Ken McNulty purchased 20 pounds of the cheddar and now intends to sell it to consumers by the ounce. "Because there's so little, we didn't want to sell blocks of it on the Web," he said. "We just wanted people to sample it."
But what does it taste like ? "If you get a piece close to the outside, it's all crystallization, so it's crunchy like Corn Flakes," said McNulty. "As you get closer to the interior, it's creamier and overwhelmingly sharp."
A recently discovered block of eastern Wisconsin cheddar cheese that dates back to the Nixon presidency will be sold for $10 per ounce.
