Classic Cheese Sauce

Milk Link

Introduction:

The classic cheese sauce made in the traditional style using Bladen cheese ensuring a quality creamy sauce that delivers a rounded cheese flavour profile to suit your needs, time and time again.

Use white Cheddar for a classic sauce colour or use the coloured Cheddar to enhance the presentation of the sauce. Try using a mixture of both cheeses this will create a different colour and allow you the opportunity to market your dish more interestingly

Using mature Cheddar will give a robust flavour with lots of personality due to the longer maturation process

Mild Cheddar will offer a more rounded and mellow flavour that is softer on the pallete
