Seriously Strong Cheddar is The UK's top selling cheddar. A racy ad campaign got people to try it, but it was the distinctive, punchy flavor that kept them buying it. Seriously Strong Cheddar is made by the Caledonian Cheese Company, part of the Mclelland Group, in Stranraer in southwest Scotland. This award-winning creamery uses milk produced by the finest dairy farms in Dumfries and Galloway. The mild, moist climate, lush pastures, and rolling hills make this unspoiled part of Scotland ideal for dairy farmers. Seriously Strong Cheddar has an excellent bite to it, as the name suggests, but so much more - hints of caramel and butterscotch also pique the palate. This moist, wonderfully textured cheddar is suitable for eating anytime. It's great melted too!

Seriously Strong won the Best Extra Mature Cheddar at the 2002 Royal Highland Show. At the 2001 British Cheese Awards, Seriously Strong Cheddar received the 'Best Cheddar' award, and, at the 2001 World Cheese Awards in London, Seriously Strong was awarded a Gold Medal.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
Suitable for vegetarians.

Crumbly delight

By Vicki Whitaker

from Four Corners area of New Mexico on 4/2/2007

Pros:

Firm, Flavorful, Rich

Best Uses:

Salads, With fruit or crackers

Describe Yourself:

Health Conscious, I do not cook, Simple Tastes

This cheese does not slice, it crumbles. It crumbles into chunks and shards of rich, hearty cheddar. If you're one of those folks who like cute little perfect slices or cubes of cheese, this is not for you. If, however, you are a flavor freak and aren't obsessed with shape, you will love this deeply resonating cheddar cheese. It is classy and sassy.

The best, most flaverful cheddar!
