Any comments?
I tried a piece and like it. We don´t have much to choose, didn´t fancy going all the way to a big supermarket where the probably have more to choose from.
Nice, tasty.

That's our standard 'always got some' cheddar - I really like it especially with a nice sweet apple. In fact, we picked some up today. We can pay a lot less for cheese labelled as cheddar that is 'claggy' and too mild, and we can pay a lot more for aged cheddar but that doesn't guarantee quality. There are loads of small farm cheddars throughout Britain that are an adventure to hunt down and try :)

Maybe take the top 20 cheese varieties and pick the best of the best in each.
Canadian versions of many European cheeses are poor. They try but just never make the cut.

Aged cheddar from any one of a number of producers in western Canada can be held up with any other cheddar on earth.

For 60+ years, USask has had huge university research laboratories dedicated to cheddar cheese research. Stacked and stickered in big vats, riddles with 3/4" holes, wine soaked for 6 months certainly does no harm except to your bank account.

Sitting on the train and had some sandwiches with me; filled with the cheddar I bought and german Schwartzwald-ham. That ham is dried and lightly smoked. Great combination. Neither of the fillings overwhelmed the other, both strong taste.

Isn't it a quiet satisfied kind of pleasure when you get that mix just right ? :)

That cheddar is lovely on a sandwich (fresh though, just before you eat it) with thin slices of apple too, and it's robust enough to be good with a Ploughman's Lunch with a decent chutney as well.
