Hook's 15 year Cheddar

Sublime. This describes the Hook's 15 year Cheddar. A very unique cheese and a product of the great state of Wisconsin. This cheese is absolutely amazing. The first time we had this cheese was on our anniversary last year at L 'Etoile. And I remember that night Ruthie and I were recollecting what we were doing 15 years prior when this cheese was made. I think I was 17 years old in high school and Ruthie was in Jr. high. Well, last weekend we got away and booked a Bed & Breakfast in Mineral Point, Wisconsin which is where the Hook's Cheese Company is located. Quaint is best way to describe this town. We had a wonderful time and we picked up some 12 year and 15 year Hook's cheddar. NPR had a radio interview of Mr. Hook owner and maker of Hook's cheddar We brought it home and tried to recreate the cheese course we had on our anniversary. There are no words to describe the combination of caramelized walnuts with this 15 year cheddar. It is sublime.
