The Rarest Cheese You Can Find At Whole Foods

Though this specific cheese hails from England, you can find it right here at your local Whole Foods (per Instagram). It's called Keen's Cheddar, and only two producers in the world create it. In an Instagram video, Joey, a certified cheese professional from the American Cheese Society, shows off the dairy while suggesting top-notch pairings. He recommends mingling parmesan and olives on a charcuterie board, and he suggests serving Thomasville Tomme with Bonnie's Jam's Bourbon Berry Jam.

According to Cheese.com, Keen's Cheddar has been produced at Moorhayes Farm since 1898. Derived from grass-fed cows, it has a savory, sharp flavor with a creamy texture. The recipe calls for 16 to 18 months of aging and three days of pressing and bathing. It's a hard artisan cheese with a rich aroma and a "pale yellow" appearance.

Those who have tried Keen's Cheddar left Instagram comments that line up with Joey's thoughts. "KEENS IS THE BOMB! As is JOEY!" one comment read. Another person wrote, "So many great tips, Joey." Those interested can find a nearby Whole Foods using its store locator.
