Cheddar
Cheddarost är en av de mest populära engelska ostarna. Cheddar är mest känd för sin klargula färg och används ofta som ostskiva på en hamburgare, men osten är mycket mer än bara en garnering. På grund av sin rika och nötiga smak är Cheddar också mycket lämplig att äta med en drink. Den smuliga konsistensen får många att tro att cheddar är en hård ost, men det kan inte vara längre från sanningen.
Cheddar
To ripen a Cheddar cheese you need a cool room. These cold temperatures ensure that the taste of the Cheddar cheese is enhanced. The longer the cheese is ripened, the spicier the cheese becomes. The aging process of Cheddar cheese usually takes between 3 months and 3 years. Which flavor you like better depends on your personal preference. It is therefore smart to try both a young and an old Cheddar cheese!
Cheddar cheese is named after the small village of Cheddar in Somerset, England. This is where they started producing Cheddar cheese. In this village you will also find the caves of Cheddar Gorge. These are limestone caves, in which the temperature is perfect for ripening the cheese. Many cheese manufacturers from this village choose to age their cheeses exclusively in the limestone caves. Incidentally, Cheddar is not a protected title and other countries are also allowed to produce their own Cheddar cheeses. Therefore, Ireland, Canada and Sweden have their own Cheddar cheese dairies.
