Cheddar - what's actually decent?

[ClassicMercs]

Cornish Cruncher for me.

But had some very nice cheddar from the Cheddar Cheese Co. in Cheddar Gorge - where else. Obviously not readily available in your local shop.

Waitrose do a Mull of Kintyre off the deli counter - the best I have found so far.

For me, it largely revolves around texture. The ones I like are generally quite crumbly and have an almost crystaline structure to them, similar to really good fresh Parmesan.

Cheddar with little crunchy bits in are usually the best. My local pub used to sell such stuff, but sadly no more. So now mrs k & I usually go for either Black Bomber or Colliers.

Colliers is usually good - sometimes excellent.

Look for the packs that haven't shrink wrapped properly - often get the crystaline white bits which make all the difference....

Quickes cheddar is delicious, one of the primary reasons for a weekly visit to Booths in Knutsford
