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.

Food Insider: The earliest register of Cheddar anywhere was in Cheddar
Me: 😯
I felt the same way about learning of how critical that cheddaring is to making Cheddar.
Most food is named after something or someone.
i live in cheddar!!!
True parmesan cheese is made in parmi region in in italy, champagne is made in champagne, cognac is made in cognac.
@@ichhaiezv6395 True my brother is named after my dad, he comes from my dad.

When I went to UK I was still young so I never tried a real cheddar there. Then when I was a teenager, my dad went on a business trip to London. He brought, among others, some real English Cheddar. And my god was it amazing

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.
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.

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
I'VE BEEN THERE!!!
In the cave, on a hike and I even tried the cheese. That was hostelling last year. Go to cheddar gorge, it's amazing.

I’m the cave

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!
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
Dang so this cheddar I've been eating here in America is crap.
American cheese is always crap and its sad-

English cheese are so underrated, salut de France.
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.
its treated with a vegetarian-based substance? those poor vegetarians, what are you doing with them?
Nice

The title is misleading, as soon as she said vegan alternative.

I really LOVE your cheese episodes!!! Please make more CHEESE videos!!! I want to know more about different kinds of cheese
Mr Spencer has the loveliest, gentlest voice.
ASMR material
My oh my. Cheese, baked bread and something to drink...that is a Sunday: the trinity.
I don’t make cheddar because the ambient cave sounds don’t mess around
I know this is about cheese, but god am I sucker for that accent ❤
Delicious! I love Food Insider's videos, it makes me feel hungry😅 and it also helps me to improve my vocabulary and listening skills. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😊
Cheddar cheese is my favorite kind of cheese, parm coming in as second and mozzarella third. And omg god my mouth was watering this entire video.
these cheese videos are so relaxing to watch
This Channel is Gold. This became my go to food documentry lately.
I want to make a grilled cheese with that
Kay Abuel trust me it’s good
Don’t you dare
The forbidden grilled cheese
You'd need to use some kind of expensive, wild yeast artisinal bread covered in hand-churned butter made by Dutch maidens using only unpasteurized milk.
The taste will be good the texture will be really weird
I love cheddar wish i can try this someday anyway have a nice day beautiful people 😊😊
Thankyou you too🙂

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
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
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.
It looks really good. I'm always happy to watch this channel.🥰👍🏻🇰🇷
I've been to that cave, it's awesome. And such a neat little village too
Great village Cheddar. The scenery is fantastic. The cheese too.
"blessed are the cheesemakers."
MVL nice
Whats so special about the cheesemakers? 😄😄😄

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
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.
I just love passionate people. Thanks for the video :-)
It's midnight and i'm starving. Dunno why i watch this lmao
I love Cheddar too. Very nice and interesting video ... I love this great idea Hello from FRANCE my friend ! ! ! 🍚🍄💖🍚🍎
Idk how I didn’t watch this video. I’ve been watching all the cheese videos this year, how did I miss it?
I'm fortunate enough to have been there when I was younger, it was awesome.
If i can get $100 for everytime Food Insider released a cheese video, i would be a rich man by now.
Still, nice episode though.

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.
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
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.
Anyone noticed the sword in 1:56?! Woah!!!

I have so much cheese knowledge thanks to this video that I would ever need in my life
Thank you insider💖💖
Been watching sk much cheese videos that I can feel my heart aching.
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!
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.
Wait what?!?! Caves?!?!? Wow.... Very Cool

When I visited England I really enjoyed the cheese.
So you visited England, and all you enjoyed was some cheese ! Actually that sounds about right !
@@TheSmurfboard You're the only one saying that, seems like you already dislike England enough to interpret it that way. There are an abundance of things to enjoy in England 👍
No wonder Jerry loves this cheese 🧀 so much in Tom and Jerry cartoons

Such a lovely place, and a lovely cheese to compliment it.
As a cheese lover, this video is therapeutic😍
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.
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.
@@thecoops2329 Shepherd's Purse do sheep's blues. They also do a buffalo blue which is so good and unique
@Hanif Leylabi They sound sensational 😋 Btw the cheese i waa referring to is Mrs Bells Blue.
@@thecoops2329 Ah yes that's it! Shepherd's Purse is the cheesemaker for that and the buffalo blue and hey do a few others too.
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.
This was relaxing to watch

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...🧀🧀🧀🧀

Dorset Drum remains of my favorite cheddar brands out there.
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.

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.
😋 I love Cheddar cheese, especially sharp cheddar.
Watching at 3am. good stuff
Gonna need to stock up on my cheddar before November first...
I love English cheddar 💛💛
Imagine going on a cave tour and your halfway thru the cave, the tour guide turns to u and says
“Don’t worry it’s just some cheese”
very professional.
I love these cheese making videos! And I have no clue as to why lol
we actually age cheddar cheese in the cave i work at! it’s aged for like 18 months and i don’t really like cheddar but it’s good!
edit: spelling
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!!
Awesome
Mmm I love a good fragrant English cheddar. Bout to eat some with baguette and jam.
