Black Diamond was the first brand name for Canadian cheddar. In the 40s, the classic toasted cheese sandwich was popularized during WWII. As Cheddar matures, it gradually develops intricacies in flavor, appearance, texture, and aroma. Cheddar can change from a fresh, creamy texture to a crumbly cheese with sharp tones and nutty highlights. Aged Cheddar has an intense aroma that is both dry and rich. Pair it with baked dishes, creamy soups, sauces and even desserts.
