I'd love to try that but the only site I can see selling it here in the UK wants 85 quid a tin.
There are plenty of extra mature cheddars with crystals here, though. Marks & Spencer have a 2 year aged one called Cornish Cruncher that I'm partial to.
- noir_lord 1y agoNot like we are short of Cheddars in the UK tbf.
- tomcam 1y agoWhat's your fave?

Godminster and Black Bomber are both very nice, and are wax sealed so might be similar to the canned stuff. And that's before you get into the unpasteurised stuff you're not even allowed to sell in the states. (Edit: I'm wrong about that - you can if it's aged more than 60 days.) I'd really like to try this Cougar Gold, though. People get nationalistic about cheese, but good is good wherever it's made. If England can have the best brie I know of (Baron Bigod) there's no reason in principle the US couldn't have the best cheddar. Canada makes rather nice cheddar too, which you can buy in UK supermarkets. The US terminology is odd, though. Sharp isn't how I'd characterise most extra mature cheddar.
