Tölzer Kasladen Cheddar

English hard cheese made from cow's milk
Region South West England
Maturation period: 10 months
The Farmhouse Cheddar has a semi-hard texture,
sorrel aromas that turn into buttery ones, with a slightly bacon-like note.

The cheese gets its name from the town of Cheddar, which lies at the foot of the Mendip Hills in the county of Somerset.

It has been produced there for centuries. The church records of Cheddar mention that this cheese was delivered to King Henry II in 1170.

Cheddar is the most famous variety produced and consumed in England. It was not until the mid-19th century that the production process of Farmhouse Cheddar was defined and written down.

Over time, the recipe was changed more and more by industrialization. This also includes rindless ripening and colouring with annatto or colour. Thanks to colonization, it enjoys worldwide distribution.

Maturation period 6 - 18 months
