Cheddar is one of the most widely sold cheeses in the world. It’s made in every hemisphere, and is a central ingredient in countless casseroles and other cheesy dishes throughout the Anglosphere.
Its signature tang and unusual size and shape are all products of a quest for the perfect balance between a crowd-pleasing, snackable texture and durability.
Its history encompasses trade wars, conquest and empire, and the birth of industrial-scale food production, as well as international cooperation in the development of dairy science.
