More about Cheddar Gorge Cave Aged Cheddar:

Somerset Cave aged Cheddar!
It is made from unpasteurised milk taken from cows grazing in the lush pastures surrounding Cheddar, here in Somerset The pastures influence the milk and the milk determines many of the key characteristics of the cheese.
- Made and cheddared by hand using the cheesemaker's skill and experience rather than a mechanised process
- Matured in cloth for up to 18 months to produce a rind and, more importantly, to allow the gradual change in texture of the cheese to take its effect on flavour development. This happens differently in vacuum matured cheese.
The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company continues to make cheese in this way and are alone in keeping the traditional art of Cheddar making alive in the heart of the village of Cheddar. Their cheese has won many prizes and in the last two years has won awards at the British Cheese Awards and the Royal Bath and West Show. |
