Cheddar cheese

Cheddar cheese was originally made in the town of Cheddar, England. Cheddar is produced in Great Britain, Canada, the United States of America, New Zealand, and Australia.

Cheeses such as Gloucester, Cheshire, Leicester, Stilton, Lancashire, Derby, Wensleydale, French Cantal and Caerphilly all belong to the Cheddar family. Cheddaring refers to an additional step in the production of cheddar-style cheese where the curd is cut into cubes, stacked and turned.
