The most English of cheeses

Cheddar is a cheese with centuries of history.

In the fifteenth century, it was stored in Somerset's Cheddar Gorge caves to mature.

It is the most widely purchased and eaten cheese in the world and originates from England - although it is imitated the world over.

Mild Cheddar
Delicately flavoured Mild Cheddar has a smooth creamy texture and tastes delicious with some fresh English apple juice - making it perfect for younger family members or those who fancy something non-alcoholic.

Medium Cheddar
Medium Cheddar is typically matured for more than six months; has a smooth close texture, a lovely rounded flavour and, in common with a milder cheddar, is perfect with fresh English apple juice.

Mature Cheddar
Carefully matured under controlled conditions for nine to twelve months, Mature Cheddar has a firm, silky texture and a wonderfully full flavour. Some think that an interesting companion for this cheese is Guinness.

Vintage Cheddar
Cheddar, the most English of cheeses, remains a worldwide bestseller. A long maturing process under controlled conditions produces this premium quality Vintage Cheddar and imbues it with a strong, lingering flavour that goes well with Merlot.

West County Farmhouse Cheddar
Despite imitation in many other countries, Cheddar will always be explicitly associated with England and more particularly, the West Country. West Country Farmhouse Cheddar is honored with Protected Designation of Origin.
