Tuck a stick into a lunch bag, keep a few in the fridge at work, or pack them for a trip. Shoppers tell us the flavor is bold and sharp without being overpowering, the texture is smooth and creamy, and the packs are easy to open. Families tell us their toddlers and kids like them.

In Ireland, cows graze on the green pastures of small family farms for a majority of the year, and their milk is used to make Kerrygold butters and cheeses. At Kerrygold, our Master Cheese Grader, Enda Howley, selects only the finest cheeses to carry the Kerrygold name. This cheddar is made in Ireland from just pasteurized milk, salt, cheese cultures and vegetarian rennet. Made by people who care, for people who care.

Ingredients: PASTEURIZED MILK, SALT, CHEESE CULTURES, VEGETARIAN RENNET.




Common Questions

What's a good vegetarian cheese snack for kids' lunch boxes?
Our Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Cheese Snacking Sticks are suitable for vegetarians because we make them with vegetarian rennet. Rennet is the enzyme that sets milk into curds, and in many traditional cheeses it comes from calves' stomachs, so a cheese can be meat-free and still unsuitable for vegetarians. Our ingredient list is short: pasteurized milk, salt, cheese cultures and vegetarian rennet. Each stick is individually wrapped, so it drops straight into a lunch bag, and families tell us their toddlers and kids like them.

Is there a sharper-tasting alternative to string cheese for snacking?
If string cheese tastes too mild, our Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Cheese Snacking Sticks give you the same grab-and-go format with a cheddar aged for over 12 months, which we describe as well-balanced sharp and creamy. Most string cheese is low-moisture mozzarella, stretched during making so it peels into strings and eaten young, which keeps the flavor gentle. Cheddar is made differently and won't peel, and long aging is what builds its sharper flavor. Shoppers call ours bold and sharp without being overpowering, with a texture many describe as smooth and creamy for a snack cheese. A few people have found it dry or bland for the price.

Are there cheese snacks made from grass-fed milk?
Yes, our Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Cheese Snacking Sticks are made with milk from Irish grass-fed cows and carry a Grass Fed declaration. The cheese is made in Ireland. Across Kerrygold, the milk for our butters and cheeses comes from cows that graze the green pastures of small family farms for a majority of the year, supplied by about 14,000 co-op members who focus on producing grass-fed milk. Our farmers aim to give their cows lush grass to graze nearly all year round.

How many sticks are in a pack of Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Snacking Sticks, and what's the nutrition per stick?
Each pack of our Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Cheese Snacking Sticks holds 8 sticks of 0.75 oz (21 g), for a net weight of 6 oz (170 g). One stick is one serving and has 90 calories. Per stick you get 7 g total fat (9% DV), 5 g saturated fat (25% DV), 20 mg cholesterol (7% DV), 150 mg sodium (7% DV), 0 g carbohydrate, 5 g protein (10% DV) and 155 mg calcium (12% DV).

Do Kerrygold cheddar snacking sticks need to be refrigerated?
Yes, keep our Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Cheese Snacking Sticks refrigerated. They need no prep, so you can eat one straight from the pack at work or between meals. For a packed lunch, a cold pack in the bag keeps the cheese chilled until it's eaten, as with any perishable food. Shoppers find the wrappers easy to open, which makes the sticks handy for travel.

What goes well with Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Snacking Sticks?
Our Kerrygold Aged Cheddar Cheese Snacking Sticks are good on their own or on a cheese and crackers platter. Shoppers often eat them with crackers such as Triscuits or nut crackers, or cut the sticks up onto crackers. Apple slices and charcuterie boards are other favorite pairings; crisp, slightly sweet fruit is a classic partner for a sharp cheddar.
