Cheddar with experience

Wisconsin is the land of cheddar, and some of the best is from Hook’s Cheese Co. in Mineral Point. The artisan cheese maker has some cheddars of monumental age -- 10 years and older. And the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills is carrying a 12-year-old Hook’s cheddar. It’s deep, rich cheddar with complex flavor and those wonderful crystalline granules that recall fine Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Hook’s cheddar, $50 per pound, $25 per half-pound, the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, (310) 278-2855, www.cheesestorebh.com.
