I bought this cheese and it is mild and creamy, slightly moist. I am a bit disappointed. I like EXTRA Sharp Cabot cheese with the blue and black checks on the package, which is actually cheaper, drier, and younger. The best cheese is The Alpine Cheddar, dry and slightly hard and flaky. This cheese is a disappointment. The others I mentioned are better. It is really hard to find the Alpine Cheddar and those lines in Acme Markets in my area.
