The Kerrygold Grader’s Select cheddars are a line of cheeses from the Ornua-owned brand for consumers to try out when seeking a balanced flavor and texture. The cheeses are all free from artificial preservatives and flavors, and are made with milk that's rich in naturally occurring beta carotene thanks to the Irish grass the cows consume year-round. Available exclusively at Kroger and Harris Teeter, the cheeses come in three varieties including Sharp, Extra Sharp and Vintage.
Master Cheese Grader Ends Howley spoke on the new Kerrygold Grader’s Select cheddars saying, "It was an honour to curate this exclusive collection of uniquely delicious cheddars for Kroger. Kerrygold’s farm to table approach allows us to produce the highest quality cheeses that deliver a rich and natural taste that is truly unmatched."
