Kirkland Signature Aged Cheddar Cheese

This product is the Kirkland Signature Aged Cheddar Cheese, a staple dairy item sold primarily at Costco Wholesale. While the front of this specific packaging shows the nutritional declaration and barcode, the item is recognized as part of Costco's private label brand. The manufacturing is typically handled by large-scale regional dairy processors; in the Canadian market, where this specific label (featuring bilingual English and French text) originates, it is produced using Canadian milk by domestic dairy cooperatives.

Kirkland Signature was launched by Costco in 1992 to provide a high-quality alternative to national name brands at a lower price point. The brand has since become one of the most successful private labels in the world, covering everything from groceries to household goods. The cheese is aged to develop its characteristic sharp flavor and firm texture, adhering to strict quality standards set by the parent corporation. Ownership remains entirely with Costco Wholesale Corporation, headquartered in the United States.
