Along with their conquering armies, the Romans brought their cheesemaking expertise to England in the first century AD. But it was not until the sixteenth century when the cheese we know today as cheddar was so named. With such a long history, it's no surprise that cheddar is one of the world's favorite foods. So popular in fact, that almost every cheese-producing nation makes its own version. This assortment contains excellent examples from three continents:
  • Denhay Mature English Cheddar: Denhay Cheddar is carefully matured and monitored until it is 11 months old when it is sold as premium West Country Farmhouse Cheddar.
  • Red Leaf Canadian Cheddar: This entrant from North America has a firm texture and a sweet, honeyed flavor. Best enjoyed with ale and fruit, this cheddar is aged for over 12 months.
  • Superior Two Year Aged New Zealand Cheddar by Mainland Cheese: An extraordinarily rich and sharp naturally aged cheddar from the heartland of New Zealand.
  • Shelburne Farms Aged Farmhouse Cheddar: Shelburne's award winning cheese is only made from the fresh, raw milk of purebred Brown Swiss cows raised on the farm. This spectacular cheese is made in Vermont, aged for over one year, and is noted for its sophisticated, rich flavor that leaves hints of maple and apple.
This assortment contains four 1/2 pound wedges.
  • Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

Good product, fair pricing, however, this was a gift and I was expecting some form of a display not just blocks of cheese in a box.

Great cheddar isn't always from Vermont!
By Matty Bay from Colorado Springs, Colorado on 3/12/2007
Pros:
Creamy, Firm, Flavorful, Rich
Best Uses:
Hor d'oevre, Melted
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These cheeses are the embodiment of the rich buttery goodness and the sharp tang associated with cheddar. You will find it hard to buy cheddar from your local grocery store after sampling these delights from around the world. While Vermont cheddar is the standard to which all others strive (and luckily is included in this package), the silky cheddars from Canada, England and New Zealand give Vermont a run for the money. I loved the combination of cheeses and tasting one region after another. I would order this again.

 
tasting club hit!
By Karen from Ardsley, PA on 2/28/2007
Pros:
Good Value
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This was a great start to our chedder tasting club- I enjoyed reading the blurb from the website and giving the girls a variety from different countries to taste. It was great to taste the differences and pick out tastes, textures, smells, etc. Also, it was a good value and was plenty for leftovers!

 
Ch-Ch-Ch-Cheddar...is...B-B-B-Beddar!

Cons:
Expensive
Best Uses:
Enrich your existence
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

What a great idea... A presentation of the best cheddar cheeses from around the globe. If I was told by a Doctor that I would have to give up eating cheese or die, I would leave his/her office and head to the funeral home to make my arrangements. Cheddar cheese is a "gift" to mankind and this assortment is a wonderful selection to enjoy and savor...

Bottom Line:

I love cheddar, and it's a good assortment. I would like to see a couple of sharper choices added, though. It might be a good idea to have a premium cheddar assortment and include all the high-end ones.
