"   Nothing is simpler or more satisfying than melted cheddar on a sandwich. Actually, some people might be inclined to argue that cheddar crumbled over a leafy salad is the ultimate transcendent cheese experience. Then again, I have known a few who swear that cheddar cheese is only truly realized when it is melted on a piece of apple pie. Regardless, everyone seems to enjoy cheddar in his or her own unique way, and cheddar maintains a steady popularity.  When I had the chance to try 5 Spoke Creamery&amp;#039;s Port Chester Cheddar I felt I understood the celebrated utilitarian nature of cheddar in a way that I hadn&amp;#039;t before. This is not to say that Port Chester Cheddar is ordinary, or even commonplace. It is a profoundly buttery and delectable cheese that is obviously in a classification miles above those orange, cellophane-wrapped, bricks for sale in the dairy case. But for all of its complexity and richness, it is still a cheddar cheese, and I say this with genuine regard for the greatness of simple things. Similar to an English or Vermont Cheddar, Port Chester is grassy, creamy, and slightly nutty. It is aged 12 months and made with raw milk, which gives it a noticeable tang and a concentrated, but not overwhelming, saltiness. And because it is made with raw milk, rather than highly pasteurized milk, it has numerous purported health benefits including better calcium absorption, easier to digest, and loads of beneficial bacteria to fortify your immune system. The cheese is a bit on the crumby side, which does not make it ideal for slicing into neat thin strips, but if you could deal with the irregularity of a few fragmented pieces, you will assuredly enjoy this cheese. My advice: scramble the Port Chester into eggs, serve it on walnut bread (or some other whole grain bread), or go nuts and have it melted over a slice of apple pie and let me know how it is. 5 Spoke Creamery&amp;#039;s Port Chester Cheddar is available at Dean &amp;amp;amp; Deluca, Adam&amp;#039;s Market, Mrs Green Natural Markets, and Whole Foods Market.
