About Organic Vintage Cheddar Cheese
A premium quality farmhouse cheddar cheese. This cheese is matured for at least fourteen months under controlled conditions to produce a full bodied cheddar cheese with a strong and lingering flavour.
Lye Cross Vintage Cheddar carries the EU accredited 'Protected Designation of Origin' (PDO) of West Country Farmhouse Cheddar. This accreditation has been awarded to West Country Farmhouse Cheddar Cheesemakers and serves to protect the heritage and tradition of specific foods such as Cheddar Cheese from imitation. For West Country Farmhouse Cheddar it requires the cheese to be over nine months of age and that the milk used in the production of the cheese comes from one of four counties of South West England - Somerset, Devon, Dorset and Cornwall. The PDO acts as a quality accreditation that the cheese has been handmade on the farm using authenticated methods and local milk. It therefore distinguishes West Country Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese from mass produced cheeses which do not always use the local West Country milk which gives cheddar its unique features and flavour.
