When I went to UK I was still young so I never tried a real cheddar there. Then when I was a teenager, my dad went on a business trip to London. He brought, among others, some real English Cheddar. And my god was it amazing

Never underestimate anyone's cheese. Forget the mass-produced crap. Careful preparation from quality ingredients is the key. Good cheese can be made anywhere. If I've learned anything from this channel it's that.
Isn't mass produced cheese still someone's cheese? The traditional method guy interviewed is noted to help make 60 tons of cheese a year, is that not mass produced?
England’s Cheddar caves have always fascinated me. All that free cheese; just sitting there. As an American, I’ve always felt that my colonial heritage entitles me to a share of the England’s domestic cheese output. We have to stick together. I read an old book recently written by an Englishman who claimed that the cure for arthritis is lots of cod liver oil, butter, and Cheddar cheese. I’m trying the new diet right now, and it seems to be working. But only time will tell. There are also lots of old stories about the miraculous cures achieved by visiting the springs in Epsom. Old books say that Epsom salt is the best medicine in the world. So my new Cod Liver Oil-Butter-Cheddar Cheese-Epsom Salt health plan is well on its way. But I need a few hundred more pounds of Cheddar. I wonder if the Brit’s would let me go into the Cheddar caves, and just look around.
I mean he doesn't look too wrong if you look at what they do today in Iraq at least in his time there was an actuall government dictatorship or not better then ISIS
The strawberries from around there are lovely too. The farmers have shops between there and Wookey. The Mendips are well worth a visit whilst the Gorge has become so busy. Cheddar is growing into a town now.
I went to cheddar gorge in July. It’s amazing! it has loads of attractions like a massive set of stairs to the top of the gorge and caves tours. Definitely recommend if your thinking about going her
It’s better seeing it in person on a day when the sun is out and the trees and hedges are in full leaf. Say, late spring or early summer. I lived in a village next to Cheddar, it was beautiful; green, leafy and birdsong everywhere. If you ever visit England take a few days in the West Country (Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall), don’t just do the tourist trail in the suffocating diesel of London.
I’m English and I don’t live far from Cheddar. And I’ve visited these caves a number of times and it’s the only time I’d say I actually was fascinated by cheese.
Not only the cheese in this village is nice but also the residents and the ladies who were selling the cheese. They were all so kind and hospitable! When I visit I make sure I buy for me and for my friends and family! Highly recommended. Enjoy it!
You'd need to use some kind of expensive, wild yeast artisinal bread covered in hand-churned butter made by Dutch maidens using only unpasteurized milk.
Cheeses confuse me. Like, almost every cheese follows the basic process of milk, add rennet, stir and slice, pack into pucks and age, but this somehow produces wildly different cheeses every time. Maybe it’s the grass the cows eat? Something in the ageing process? Heat? Idk man but I’m not gonna stop eating cheese
So many different things change it. The cows' diet, the specific bacterias and fungi introduced to the cheese, brined vs non-brined, how and where it's stored, the time it's left to age... And that's only a few things, there's a ton more from there!
don't just go to cheddar for the cheese!!!!!!! the caves are amazing and you can have some great tours inside them and they tell you all the cute old stories. the gorge is... GORGEous. the scenery in this place is really no joke. such a lovely place to drive through the little shops there are really adorable with really friendly people. there are so many walks you can go on through the woods around here and beautiful things you can see! really it's just a lovely little day out in a lovely little place with the added bonus of amazing cheese!
Hmm,you just want to move to Europe to start a cheese business, while I am from Europe working in africa long term, and all I can do is dream about all kinda cheese,as here in africa people don't like it and don't sell it unless if you lucky in big cities in small amounts at the mall only!!! Now see how am suffering missing all those delicious cheeses,and I would commit a murder just to get 1 full size of any cheese😊😄,looking forward to get home again and eat cheese for a full month every day!!
I’m always waiting for the video to be uploaded.😊 And I’m sharing your channel’s video with my friends❗️ I will continue to watch good videos😁 Thank you for the video🙏
i agree, it has a very muted tast. stereotypical cheese taste. not too sweet nor too salty, it is not very smelly either. easy for people of all ages to like it. but due to it's accessibility it is also a very boring cheese in many ways.
When I went to Cheddar England, which is south of Bristol, I found a very well aged cheddar that had a great bite to it. It was almost the same bite as horse radish has. It was really good. The caves there were interesting too.
I've visited cheddar gorge and wooky hole caves in Somerset. The cheese was all stored in the caves deep within the earth and we got to try some. It was amazing and so tasty
It depends on what type of cheddar you get. Mature and extra mature cheddars are mostly crumbly when cutting. But, you can also just get less matured cheddars that slices without crumbling and is firm and doesn’t break up easily.
If you look at the history of cheese in America (yes, I am being serious) a chap discovered cheddar cheese in England and then introduced the cheddar style of cheese into America. What went wrong with your food production is that you wanted to industrialise it. You turned proper cheese into something that was less than it's component parts. However it's not all bad an American cheese recently won cheese of the year which was a world wide award.
I spent some very happy years in Axbridge next to Cheddar. Loved that part of Somerset, in the shadow of the Mendips and overlooking the Levels. Great countryside.
I remember going to cheese museum Yorkshire and it was Cheddar. I got to eat a lot of samples and watch someone make it traditionally. I also got to help in the demonstration
7:38 Agreed. I've seen it many times. Monopolies always send prices through the roof. Cheddar Gorge's opt-out is them allowing for healthy competition, basically they're saying "If we put the PDO label on ours, NONE of you may do it on yours." Cheddar Gorge fears that if they put the PDO label on, it could drive the others out of business.
Always ate plastic cheeseburger like cheddar and hate it, no taste at all.... Then i tried a whyke farm reserve cheddar.. It is completely different by its plastic like copy, it tastes delicious and smells intensely..... Really awesome
Fun fact, the gorge was also the site of discovery for the Cheddar man, nicknamed the first “Englishman” he was born, lived and died during the Bronze Age, for a while it was assumed he looked like a typical Modern North West European (light skin, brown/black/blonde hair and brown or blue eyes) but recent genetic studies have shown that he had dark skin, black hair and piercing blue eyes.
What I learned in this channel Humidity is 30%: It's the perfect conditions. Humidity is 70%: It's the perfect conditions. Humidity is 99%: It's the perfect conditions.
Thank you for this video!!!👏👏👏👏 I always say that CHEDDAR is the most UNDERRATED 🧀🧀🧀 in the world...Sharp Cheddar is the best CHEESE for eggs & Mexican food...Aged NY Sharp Cheddar style or Vermont (Cabot) are KILLER 🧀🧀🧀🧀 ...To conclude, I believe that British cheddar is probably the best of all; I have bought them on Trader Joe’s many times on the US and it’s an awesome product!!!! I”ll love to visit Cheddar, Somerset to try the REAL deal anytime soon...🧀🧀🧀🧀
@@TheSmurfboard You're the only one saying that, seems like you already dislike England enough to interpret it that way. There are an abundance of things to enjoy in England 👍
When my nan went to the cheddar gorge, she bought me a good vintage cheddar, and then a cave vintage cheddar. The normal vintage cheddar was delicious, probably the best I’d had. Then I tried the cave matured cheddar, and it was genuinely on another level.
Delicious! I love Food Insider's videos, it makes me feel hungry😅 and it also helps me to improve my vocabulary and listening skills. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😊
@@NarutoDivorceArcReal The hair still comes out of their arms into the cheese. If they have to wear beard and hair nets they need to cover their hairy arms.
