Cheddar

Cheddar is one of the most beloved cheeses in the world, and for good reason. This variety is colored with annatto, a natural dye from the fruit of the achiote tree, which gives it that distinctive warm, orange hue. The texture looks crumbly but feels surprisingly creamy in the mouth, with a rich, earthy flavor that's deep and full.

Cheddar's versatility is legendary: just as good on bread as it is melted over a burger, stirred into a mac & cheese, or enjoyed on its own on a cheese board. Its firm texture also makes it great for grating. An absolute must-have for anyone who loves a full, honest cheese flavor.

Pairs well with: a glass of red ale, a bold IPA, or a full-bodied Shiraz. Perfect in a burger, on toast, in a cheese sauce, or as part of an international cheese board. Combine with our Stilton for a British cheese duo, or with the Comte Reserve for a continental contrast.
