English cheese – Cheddar
Posted on December 27th, 2008 by admin
Cheddar cheese is a relatively hard, pale yellow to off-white, and sometimes sharp-tasting cheese originating in the English village of Cheddar, in Somerset. Cheddar cheese is the most popular cheese in the United Kingdom, accounting for 51% of the country’s £1.9 billion annual cheese market. Cheddar cheese has been copied widely, both in the United Kingdom and in other countries, including Ireland, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada. In all of these ‘Cheddar’ cheese, in many forms, is readily available, ranging from mild lower-fat cheeses to the more mature higher-fat and sharper cheeses
