| Cheddar
Language: English
Description: A hard, pasteurised cow’s milk cheese, the flavour and colour of which depend on the maker and the age of the cheese. The technique of "cheddaring" is a combination of milling and turning the curds. This is a versatile cooking and eating cheese which is mass produced throughout the world. Varieties of cheddar include Charnwood, and Applewood and Windsor Red. It is worth hunting for farm-made cheeses, as these can be delicious. Because Cheddar failed to protect the name, it is now manufactured in factories all over the world and the name is said to cover 80% of all American cheese. Considered to be the most widely eaten cheese in the world.
