Why Traditional English Cheddar Is Aged In Caves | Regional Eats

- The earliest record of cheddar anywhere is at Cheddar, in Somerset, in 1170. The land around this village has been at the heart of English cheesemaking since the 15th century. Today, as many Cheddar producers have upscaled and require more land, there is only one traditional cheesemaker in the village.

I felt the same way about learning of how critical that cheddaring is to making Cheddar.
Most food is named after something or someone.

The English countryside looks so beautiful and serene!
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.

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!
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.
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
English cheese are so underrated, salut de France.
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?

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!
its treated with a vegetarian-based substance? those poor vegetarians, what are you doing with them?

I really LOVE your cheese episodes!!! Please make more CHEESE videos!!! I want to know more about different kinds of cheese
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

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.

Thankyou you too🙂
I've been to that cave, it's awesome. And such a neat little village too
I'm fortunate enough to have been there when I was younger, it was awesome.
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.
We'll both steal a bit, imagine being in court for cheese worrying
I like the fact they use the raw milk. Means the quality is going to be so much better.
I buy raw milk at the store here in california, can walk in buy unpasteurized milk like regular milk and walk out and make cheese from it.
Such a lovely place, and a lovely cheese to compliment it.
this video is so peaceful

So you visited England, and all you enjoyed was some cheese ! Actually that sounds about right !

Getting paid to visit cheese factories and taste ,it's MY dream job...nothing is so relaxing than to watch how cheese is made.. the presenter is Damm lucky to get this job,and enjoy traveling and eating cheese😊👍👍 love it
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.
I live in the town next to Cheddargorge. Its pretty crazy the amount of cheese they produce
Bet tourism in the gorge is insane
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’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🙏
Be quiet son of Kim Jong un
Been watching sk much cheese videos that I can feel my heart aching.
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.
It's midnight and i'm starving. Dunno why i watch this lmao
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...🧀🧀🧀🧀
If you like your cheese strong try a Dorset Blue Vinny it'll blow your socks off!

Been to cheddar gorge multiple times and the cheese there is the best I've ever tasted it's a place you must visit if your a cheese lover
Cheddar Gorge is a wonderful place to visit I went when i was a kid still remember it even tho it's very hilly around the area
Anyone noticed the sword in 1:56?! Woah!!!
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.
I have so much cheese knowledge thanks to this video that I would ever need in my life
Thank you insider💖💖
AGAIN WITH THE EARTHLY FLAVOUR
Snowdonia Black Bomber, Shropshire and Sparkenhoe blue are 3 of the most fabulous cheeses I've ever eaten and im talking as someone who uses to go to 🇫🇷 2 times a week for work, sensational 👏🏻
If you're a fan of strong cheddar give Lincolnshire Poacher a try.
@Paul Anderson Very apt of you to say so as I've just done that very thing, got some Poacher from Sherwin's an amazing store in the now not so great Leicester Market along with some English blue sheep's cheese that unfortunately I don't remember the name of, is ridiculously expensive but an absolutely incredible cheese which makes St Agur seem like a lump of smelly 'ol doggy doo's.

I wish i can buy real cheddar instead of processed "cheddar cheese" 😖
@Spencer Rees no, i live in a different country and there is such a thing as "processed cheddar cheese" and was very cheap
@Spencer Rees how much does the cheddar cost?
@Spencer Rees Do me and a lot of other people a favour will you Spencer?
When you are going to say things like "England has over 2000 different cheeses", just take a moment, and consider whether or not you really mean Britain.
Thanks mate! 🇬🇧
@Spencer Rees You're wrong anyway young Spencer. The British cheese board states that there are over 700 named British cheeses, and not all of them are English.
No wonder Jerry loves this cheese 🧀 so much in Tom and Jerry cartoons

Cheddar is a lovely little village. I hope to get back soon. Only a portion of the cheese is aged in a cave. It gets a somewhat earthy note.

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.
Watching at 3am. good stuff
more cheese plase....seriously this well produced and informative...Stilton next ?
I feel like cheddar cheese is the default cheese. Like if there was a video game based on cheese, cheddar would be you at level 1
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.
Blessed are the Cheesemakers
Awesome
So cool!
This is nothing like the cheddar I've been eating my whole life
This actually looks like cheese
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!
Love checking out my recommended videos at 3am after a dab and finding something like this randomly

Me and my sloppy brain read the title as "English Cheerleader" . Damn need to sleep now.
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.
Very nice
amazing
Cheddar cheese: a soft cheese that still refuses to stay in 1 f*king piece when you cut a slice off it.
Just get your processed American cheese. Its already in slices.
Huh? Cheddar is a hard cheese you bellend
It’s meant to be crumbly you dolt
If your cheddar is soft, its not actually cheddar. English cheddar is a hard sometimes crumbly cheese
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.
Meanwhile, American Sharp Cheddar tastes more like a cheese flavored rubber than actual cheese...
All our food is fake, thanks perservationists.
Beautiful video
Excelente.
I need to stop watching these before I decide to drop everything, move to Europe and start a cheese business
right its best not to follow you dreams but follow the preconceived path ;)
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!!
