Marco Polo was an explorer who introduced the Far East to Europeans; and Beecher's cheese is honoring this 13th century adventurer by naming an adventurous cheddar flavored with peppers after him.
Beecher's takes their creamy Flagship cheese and adds a blend of lightly milled and cracked green and black peppercorns to make Marco Polo. Magic. The resulting cheese is a rich savory cheddar with butter notes and clearly visible peppercorns. This gourmet cheese from the Northwest has received quite a number of awards.
A slice of this cheese melted on a burger, or grated into a baked potato simply unforgettable. Marco Polo pairs well with an ale of your preference or it goes so well with a nice easy glass of Merlot.
