Jocelyn & Co · Cabernet Sauvignon Cheddar Cheese Spread

The Moment

This is the spread you reach for when the board needs something bold but comforting. Familiar, rich, and quietly indulgent, it brings depth without asking for attention — the kind of jar that disappears faster than expected.

What It Feels Like

The aroma is warm and inviting, led by sharp cheddar with a subtle lift of dark fruit from the Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine influence is gentle — present, but never dominant.

On the palate, the spread is rich and savory. Sharp, real cheddar provides structure, while the Cabernet Sauvignon adds soft, fruity undertones that round out the edges. The result is balanced and satisfying, with just enough depth to keep each bite interesting without tipping into sweetness.

The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving behind savory cheese and a faint echo of red fruit.

Texture

Silky, creamy, and effortlessly spreadable. This is a true cheese spread — smooth enough for crackers and toast points, yet substantial enough to feel indulgent rather than whipped or airy.

Perfect For

Served chilled on crackers or toasted bread
Anchoring a cheeseboard alongside salami, nuts, and preserves
Paired with olives, jams, or roasted nuts
Easy entertaining and giftable spreads

Pairs Beautifully With

Crisp & Mineral Whites
Bright whites cut through the richness and keep the pairing fresh.

Sparkling (Brut or Extra Brut)
Bubbles and acidity balance the creaminess and reset the palate.

Light to Medium Reds
Juicy, low-tannin reds complement the cheddar without overwhelming it.

Rosé (Dry & Fresh)
A clean, dry rosé offers contrast and lift.

Why We Love It

This spread delivers exactly what it promises: real cheddar character, gentle wine influence, and a texture that works everywhere on the table. It’s familiar, versatile, and quietly crowd-pleasing — the kind of accompaniment that makes the board feel complete.
