Cabrillo Reserve Hard Cheese like our cheeseA limited release gem, the Cabrillo Reserve is aged for over 12 months (three times longer than our standard Cabrillo). This extended maturation breaks down the lactose, creating a hard, gritty texture filled with savory "cheese crystals." It is sharper, saltier, and more intense, with a deeply concentrated nutty flavor.
