Scotch Bonnet Cheddar

What is Scotch Bonnet Cheddar?

Scotch Bonnet Cheddar is a variety of cheddar cheese infused with Scotch Bonnet peppers. Known for their intense heat and fruity, slightly sweet flavor, Scotch Bonnet peppers add a bold kick to this cheese. It is made using either mild or sharp cheddar, with the peppers mixed directly into the cheese or added as a topping.

The texture ranges from firm to semi-firm, depending on the aging period. When aged longer, it develops a slight crumbliness. The cheese has a yellow or orange color, with red flecks of Scotch Bonnet peppers. Its spiciness varies based on the amount of peppers used.

Scotch Bonnet Cheddar is a versatile ingredient that enhances various dishes, including burgers, sandwiches, and quesadillas, adding a creamy texture with a fiery kick.
