Close your eyes while enjoying a bite of our Symphony Cheddar. Taste the delicious and distinctive notes of aged cheddar, gouda, and parmesan. It’s the perfect symphony . . . like music to your taste buds.
Our Symphony Cheddar is available only at September Farm Country Store and Market and septemberfarmcheese.com. This is my absolute favorite cheese at September Farm. Lancaster County folks use a word that describes this cheese perfectly–“more-ish.” The word is commonly used to describe something that is so delicious to eat that you simply can’t stop eating it. You just want MORE.
Find your favorite cutting board, a room temperature block of Symphony Cheddar, a sharp knife, your favorite crackers, and some fresh grapes. Now, slowly carve away slivers of this amazing cheese. Your taste buds will sing!

Ingredients
Pasteurized Milk
The milk used to produce this September Farm Cheese comes directly from dairy cows you can see grazing in meadows around September Farm’s retail store and processing facility. Milk goes directly from the cows’ morning and evening milking to our cheese vat (there is no middle man).
We do not separate our milk prior to making cheese. Whole milk is naturally 97% fat free.
First developed by Louis Pasteur in 1864, pasteurization kills harmful organisms found in many natural foods such as raw fluid milk. Pasteurization is a process in which milk is treated for a specified period of time using heat.
Salt
We use non-iodized, semi coarse salt in our cheese. This salt dissolves into our cheese at the optimum rate, and serves four very important purposes:
Encouraging moisture loss/ Altering texture: Salt will draw whey (moisture) out of the cheese. This dries the cheese’s body and has pronounced effects on its texture and stability.
Neutralizing the acidity in the cheese.
Enhancing flavor: Salt not only gives cheese a salty taste, but can also help enhance other flavors present.
Acting as a natural preservative.
MICROBIAL RENNET
This is a coagulating agent. Microbial Rennet is used to coagulate or thicken milk during the cheese making process. This is done prior to cutting the curd, and allows the curds and whey to separate.
Cheese Culture
There are many different types and variations of cheese culture. These cultures are referred to as Lactic Bacteria. The lactose fermenting bacteria, when added to milk, digests the lactose sugars to produce lactic acid causing the formation of curds.
Cheddar cheese history
