King Island Dairy Cheddar Cheese Products

The origin of the name cheddar comes from 'cheddaring', a cheese making method that originated in Somerset, England which refers to the way curds are managed during production. It is a firm close textured cheese which, depending on its age, has a delicate to rich flavour.

Cheddar can be waxed (a coating that prevents cheese from drying out and enhances flavour), cloth wrapped (allowing the cheese to breathe and develop an earthy flavour with different textural components), smoked (providing a unique smoky character) and flavoured (with the addition for example of pepper or blue mould to enhance the taste).
