Mild and mature Cheddar are British favourites

With its firm texture, sunshine yellow colour and distinctive, melt-in-the-mouth full flavour, it’s not surprising that Cheddar is easily Britain’s most popular cheese. But what makes Cheddar such a standout favourite is its exceptional versatility.

Cheddar is totally at home on a classic cheeseboard, in a ploughman’s lunch or as a mainstay sandwich filling. But it’s also happy starring in a salad, melted into a sauce, or adding its wonderful flavour to a freshly made dip. Sliced, diced or grated, you’ll find Cheddar on pizzas, in pasta dishes, and enriching the taste of breads, pies, pasties and a whole range of other baked goods. Explore below to find out about the products we stock.

Extra mature Cheddar – the benefits

Our Everyday Favourites extra mature Cheddar delivers all the same qualities, versatility and functionality as our mild and mature Cheddars, but with the extra sharpness and fuller flavour that characterises one of the world’s favourite cheeses.

Like its milder counterparts, our extra mature Cheddar has excellent melting properties, making it an ideal ingredient in countless hot dishes. And this is where it truly comes into its own because the extra depth of flavour means you can use less cheese in a dish…without sacrificing any of the meal appeal. Fantastic flavour…from less cheese…for lower cost. Delicious!
