Another Cheese thread - What is the strongest cheddar?

[flyingjase]

Following on from the cheese thread, can anyone recomend me a really strong cheddar?

I noticed someone had posted 'Afterburner Cheddar' in that thread - where do you get this from and is it as strong as the name suggests?

I've bought the 'seriously strong cheddar' from Tesco, but 'seriously strong' it ain't!

Any suggestions?

"Afterburner" is ok, but not of the "flip-top head" strength.

The best strong Cheddar I've tasted is Snowdonia's "Black Bomber"

Can you get that mail order?

Update on this

Black Bomber - nice cheddar but not as strong as I thought it would be from the recomendation.

Also bought:-

Red Devil - Red Leicester with chillies & crushed pepper - this was nice even though I'm not a Red Leicester fan. The chillies give it a nice kick

Still to try (waiting in the fridge to be opened), Pickle Power - Mature Cheddar with chunks of pickled onion - sounds interesting
