Cabot Creamery Horseradish Spreadable Cheddar Cheese - 8 oz.
What You Should Know
Cabot Creamery Horseradish Spreadable Cheddar is a refrigerated, ready-to-spread cheese product that often sits in the dairy or specialty cheese section of the supermarket — think the refrigerated deli aisle, near cream cheeses, spreadable cheddars, and party dips, and sometimes alongside other flavored cheese tubs and packaged smoked meats. It reads like a farmhouse favorite on the label: Vermont cheddar heritage, cooperative brand roots, and a punchy horseradish personality aimed at shoppers looking for easy entertaining solutions. This tub-sized 8 oz format is made for grab-and-go party planning: slather on crackers for a game-day platter, smear on a roast beef sandwich for a weekend lunch, or tuck into a picnic basket or brunch spread. Packaging is typically a small plastic tub with a peel-top or twist lid that invites immediate use; the ritual is opening the tub, running a knife along the rim and spreading the glossy, creamy paste onto bread or veggies. Sensory notes: smooth and spreadable base with a rich cheddar backbone, a cool creamy mouthfeel, and a bright, sinus-clearing horseradish bite that lingers; sodium and mild sugar balance the sharpness. Brand positioning leans on New England cheesemaking tradition and cooperative credibility, appealing to adults who want something approachable yet interesting for entertaining — not aimed at kids, more at hosts and deli lovers. The label suggests rustic, natural cheesemaking, but the ingredient list includes stabilizers, a preservative, and an artificial flavoring. Processing context: this is an ultra-processed spreadable cheese product made for convenience and shelf stability.
