Why Traditional English Cheddar Is Aged In Caves | Regional Eats

The earliest record of cheddar anywhere is at Cheddar, in Somerset, in 1170. The land around this village has been at the heart of English cheesemaking since the 15th century. Today, as many Cheddar producers have upscaled and require more land, there is only one traditional cheesemaker in the village.

Why would people dislike a video about cheese? Damn lactose intolerants.

1100s Kids: “Papa I’m hungry”

Dad: “Hold up while I age some milk in a cave for a couple days”

The English countryside looks so beautiful and serene!

When I went to UK I was still young so I never tried a real cheddar there. Then when I was a teenager, my dad went on a business trip to London. He brought, among others, some real English Cheddar. And my god was it amazing

[homodeus..]

Not only the cheese in this village is nice but also the residents and the ladies who were selling the cheese. They were all so kind and hospitable!
When I visit I make sure I buy for me and for my friends and family!
Highly recommended.
Enjoy it!

Food Insider: The earliest register of Cheddar anywhere was in Cheddar

Me: 😯

I'VE BEEN THERE!!!
In the cave, on a hike and I even tried the cheese. That was hostelling last year. Go to cheddar gorge, it's amazing.

I’m English and I don’t live far from Cheddar. And I’ve visited these caves a number of times and it’s the only time I’d say I actually was fascinated by cheese.

[christinelambert]

Dang so this cheddar I've been eating here in America is crap.

I went to cheddar gorge in July. It’s amazing! it has loads of attractions like a massive set of stairs to the top of the gorge and caves tours. Definitely recommend if your thinking about going her

[dominodamsel]

its treated with a vegetarian-based substance? those poor vegetarians, what are you doing with them?

[angrylittlespider]

Never underestimate anyone's cheese. Forget the mass-produced crap. Careful preparation from quality ingredients is the key. Good cheese can be made anywhere. If I've learned anything from this channel it's that.

I've visited cheddar gorge and wooky hole caves in Somerset. The cheese was all stored in the caves deep within the earth and we got to try some. It was amazing and so tasty

[sadiebaber]

don't just go to cheddar for the
the caves are amazing and you can have some great tours inside them and they tell you all the cute old stories.
the gorge is... GORGEous. the scenery in this place is really no joke. such a lovely place to drive through
the little shops there are really adorable with really friendly people.
there are so many walks you can go on through the woods around here and beautiful things you can see!
really it's just a lovely little day out in a lovely little place with the added bonus of amazing cheese!

England’s Cheddar caves have always fascinated me. All that free cheese; just sitting there.

As an American, I’ve always felt that my colonial heritage entitles me to a share of the England’s domestic cheese output. We have to stick together.

I read an old book recently written by an Englishman who claimed that the cure for arthritis is lots of cod liver oil, butter, and Cheddar cheese. I’m trying the new diet right now, and it seems to be working. But only time will tell.

There are also lots of old stories about the miraculous cures achieved by visiting the springs in Epsom. Old books say that Epsom salt is the best medicine in the world.

So my new Cod Liver Oil-Butter-Cheddar Cheese-Epsom Salt health plan is well on its way. But I need a few hundred more pounds of Cheddar.

I wonder if the Brit’s would let me go into the Cheddar caves, and just look around.

When I went to Cheddar England, which is south of Bristol, I found a very well aged cheddar that had a great bite to it. It was almost the same bite as horse radish has. It was really good. The caves there were interesting too.

[yvankaramazov]

English cheese are so underrated, salut de France.

[FullThrottleAxolotl]

Cheddar cheese is my favorite kind of cheese, parm coming in as second and mozzarella third. And omg god my mouth was watering this entire video.
