We went to the town of Cheddar, to see the cheese-making process. Cheddar cheese is named for cheddaring, an extra step in the process which was developed there.

United KingdomNext the blocks are milled (chopped) and salted. Finally the molds are filled and put into the cheese press overnight. Then cheeses are wrapped in cheesecloth, pressed again, and finally put into storage (sometimes a cave is used like in the old days, to impart a different flavor). We got to taste the different ages of cheese, and some good flavors as well. We love to see how things are made!

After a long day we are waiting for a takeaway curry and then off to our lodging for the night.
We battled our way through traffic congestion, accidents on the motorway and crap weather on shitty country lanes to get here. This curry better be good!
