What cheeses are best for a grilled cheese sandwich?
- Cheddar Cheese: this everyday cheese is the beloved of Canadian families. But did you know it’s also a multifaceted cheese that comes in all flavours and styles? Try an old cheddar if you are looking for character and depth, or a mild one if you are simply craving its soft and rich texture. And such versatility: sliced, shredded, marble, and even flavoured, there’s nothing cheddar can’t be. Let inspiration–and your tastebuds–guide you. Your grilled cheese sandwich is a blank canvas, and your Armstrong Cheddar a muse.
- Swiss Cheese: The heavenly texture and hints of hazelnut flavours of Armstrong Swiss Cheese Slices make it the perfect central component of a grilled cheese sandwich. Pairing perfectly with deli meats, and designed to be even better melted, it’s what you need to turn a simple grilled sandwich into a memorable event.
- Mexican Fiesta: This marble cheddar with added jalapeño peppers adds a little southern heat to any of your recipes.
- Havarti Slices: The famous buttery sweetness of our Havarti cheese, offered in slices; perfect to add a touch of refinement to any grilled cheese or burger.
- Monterey Jack with Jalapenos: Pleasantly spicy, this jalapeño-enhanced Monterey Jack lends a kick to your culinary creations.
- Smoke-flavoured Cheddar Cheese Slices: Creamy and light cheddar with a smokey flavour as a bonus. Takes your classic recipes a notch above.
- Mozzarella Slices: Famous for its milky, slightly salty flavour, and melting deliciously in the heat, mozzarella has a knack for taking sandwiches from good to unforgettable.
Keep in mind that there are endless possibilities to jazz up a sandwich. Switch up the bread you use; try new condiments or mix some you haven’t thought of before; use new, original garnishes; mix different cheeses, like Swiss and Cheddar, or let your imagination wander and try another type of Armstrong cheese completely. Above all, have fun!
