Can I use a different cheese besides sharp cheddar?

Yes, but sharp cheddar gives the best balance of tang and depth. Aged gouda or white cheddar works too, but avoid super soft cheeses—they change the texture.

How long can Carlis Bee Cheese stay in the fridge?

Up to 10 days if sealed tightly. The flavor improves after a couple days, so make it ahead!

Can I freeze Carlis Bee Cheese?

Technically, yes but the texture may become crumbly when thawed. For best results, enjoy it fresh from the fridge.

Is the sherry flavor strong?

It’s subtle. The sherry adds richness without overpowering. You can use a splash of white wine or even leave it out
