      Gimme vintage cheddar cheese - ordinary even tasty cheddar just doesn’t have enough bite. I’m not all that fond of Cracker Barrel - I quite like the Aldi vintage one though.

        I like the Aldi one too, but they carefully label it “vintage cheese” (no mention of cheddar anywhere on the packaging, AFAICT). I guess they’re taking a shortcut that means it can’t be called cheddar? 🤷

          Would not surprise me. I don’t actually mind, as they’re a LOT more careful with their labelling than some supermarkets I could mention (cough cough colesworth cough cough). An honest label is fine by me. Anyway, cheddaring is a separate process in cheesemaking, and an optional one in my opinion. It’s the end result that counts with me.

            I did not know that cheddaring was a thing. Thanks! And yeah, I really like their vintage cheese, it just seemed odd that they didn’t call it cheddar.
