Natural Chili Lime Cheddar Cheese

Product Description: Chili lime cheddar cheese is a flavorful and zesty variation of traditional cheddar. The chili peppers introduce a touch of heat that lingers on the palate, while the lime presents a refreshing citrus note from the first bite, creating a harmonious blend of textures and a vibrant taste. Combining the cheddar’s nutty and tangy characteristics, the chili’s spiciness, and the lime’s zing create a well-balanced cheese.
