As most of you already know, The Lady and I have never met a cheddar we didn’t like and in most cases, didn’t love… Boxing Cheddar from Australia is no exception to the “love” column. And at $7.99 a pound, retail, it’s also a great bargain for the cheddar lovers of the Pacific Northwest. (The Lady saw it last year at Costco for about half that price… she should have bought it… shoulda, coulda, woulda… or as our friend Nancy, married to The Man’s BFF, Gary, likes to say… “it’s a sorry if…” you’ll be sorry if you don’t buy it when you see it at Costco…)
Anyway, forgive the digression there…
Boxing Cheddar, complete with a Kangaroo on the packaging, is imported by DPI, the same folks who ban access to this very blog. I have been unable to discover who produces this “tasty” cheddar and if any of my loyal readers have a clue, please share…
Boxing Cheddar is aged three years and is nutty and tangy with a nice bite that lingers after the cheese is gone. We had it on a cheese plate with other cheeses The Lady procured while out spying on the competition. I love that The Lady has no qualms about buying new cheeses from her competitors… but only cheeses she doesn’t carry in her own cheesemines…
I give Boxing Cheddar 3 Paws out of 4 Paws (cause that’s all I’ve got…).
Serving Suggestions: On a cheese plate for snacking and in cooking, especially au gratins and the ever ubiquitous mac n cheese.
Wine Pairing: 14 Hands has a new red sold retail, Hot to Trot, and it is becoming a favorite around the manse. This is a red blend and it’s fruity and smooth… a very nice wine…
Beer Pairing: James Squire Brewhouse Australian Brown Ale
Source: Pasteurized Cow Milk

If you find out who makes the Boxing Cheddar, could you let me know?
I work for a Market Research company that tracks sales of random weight products in Grocery stores (raw data from scanners). I do Deli Cheese, and I’ve seen Boxing Cheddar in various Albertson’s, Jewel & Cub, and Vons. I need to find out who makes the cheese items, but have been unsuccessful for Boxing Cheddar.
I know that it is distributed by DPI. They may be able to help you further. Here is a link to their site: http://distribution-plus.com/
Thanks! Couldn’t find anything on their site, but sent an e-mail, so maybe I’ll learn something!
