Here are a few cheddar facts 🧀:

Cheddar cheese originated in the English village of Cheddar in Somerset.
Traditional cheddar was stored and aged in the Cheddar Gorge caves, where the temperature and humidity were naturally suited to cheesemaking.
Cheddar is naturally pale yellow to off-white. Orange cheddar usually gets its color from annatto, a plant-derived coloring.
The process called “cheddaring” involves stacking and repeatedly turning slabs of curd to remove moisture and create cheddar’s characteristic texture.
Sharp cheddar isn’t necessarily a different recipe—“sharpness” generally develops as cheddar ages.
One of the largest cheeses ever made was a cheddar weighing about 56,850 pounds, produced in Oregon in 1989. 🧀😳
