About me:
I am a West Country Farmhouse Cheddar cheese, handmade down on a farm in Somerset by one of a small group of artisan cheesemakers.
I now have my own website at www.cheddarvision.tv where you can watch me mature 24/7! You can even download a bespoke screensaver of me from my webcam accurate to the very second.
I love grapes, oat biscuits, strawberries and even prunes. I live in a cheese store in Somerset and am enjoying my moment in the limelight. I’m looked after by Tom (you can see his photo in the pics section).
I will be graded to check I’m growing up to be deliciously tasty in March, June and September. Log on and check this out if you want to learn something new!
Spread the cheese love and become my friend!

Who I'd like to meet:
Top Ten Westcountry Farmhouse Cheesemakers facts:
1.Britons consume nearly 360,000 tonnes of Cheddar style cheese every year. Of this 15,000 tonnes is the real thing – West Country Farmhouse Cheddar.
2.Folklore has it that Cheddar cheese was discovered by accident when a milkmaid left a pail of milk in the nearby Cheddar Gorge caves. When she returned some time later, the milkmaid found that the milk had turned into a delicious new substance and Cheddar cheese was born.
3.The real thing, West Country Farmhouse Cheddar is only handmade from milk only from West Country cows - in order to qualify for it’s Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status it has to be. The taste of the milk can vary hugely from herd to herd which is why all the Cheddars in the West Country range have a distinct flavour and a character of their own.
4.Did you know that 26% of all milk produced in the UK is used in cheese production?
5.All West Country Farmhouse Cheddars are produced using artisan methods and it takes approximately one gallon of milk to produce a pound of cheese.
6.All our cheeses are matured for at least nine months before they are considered ready to eat. Some are matured for over18 months.
7.Each cheese is carefully matured and monitored for colour, texture, smell and taste. Only after the final grading does the premium cheese achieve the West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers label.
8.King Henry II declared Cheddar cheese to be the best in Britain and the ‘Great Roll of the Pipe’ records that in 1170 the King purchased more than 10,000 pounds of the delicacy at a cost of one farthing per pound.
9.By far the most popular cheese with the UK consumer, ‘Cheddar’ in all its forms is bought regularly by 94% of UK households and accounts for 55% of the market.
10.In days gone by cheese rind was used to soothe babies while they were teething.
