About
Cheddar that is made in the traditional way, tends to have a sharp, pungent flavour, often slightly earthy.
Its texture is firm, with farmhouse traditional Cheddar being slightly crumbly, it should also, if mature, contain large crystals of calcium lactate - often precipitated when matured for times longer than 6 months.
Real Cheddar is never 'soapy', in texture or mouth-feel.
Cheddar is usually a deep to pale yellow (off-white) colour, but orange food colorings are sometimes used in industrial varieties of Cheddar style cheeses.
