[@grumpyoldgit1944]

I bought Cathedral several years ago now one Christmas eve as a special for myself. I didn't open it until after new year, and when I did it had gone green, so never did try it. I was talking to somebody who ran a corner shop, and he told me if a cheese did that in his shop, they would just cut the green off, and carry on selling it.

[@stevewhitcher6719]

I'm pretty sure that cheddar cheese is one of those products that gets its nutrition on the label as the "book" value. Cheese is quite variable in nature and is a natural product so by and large it isnt being made to a specification its how it comes. So rather than the seller testing the cheese and changing the packaging for each batch they use the "McCance and Widdowson's" values. Always compare the per kilo price with cheese. The cheaper ones are always more variable in taste because "Brands" like to taste consistent so the batches of cheese that "happen" to taste different are the ones that are used for own label. Not sure how they rate Mild and Mature but a mild cheese is likely to be less old than a mature but it depends on the time of year and what the cows have been eating as well.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Steve 👍👍

[@michaelcampin1464]

Now to be controversial. I use the toaster to do my toast then put the cheese on and some Worcester Suace and put it in the microwave to melt the cheese. The cheese doesnt bubble and just melts

I can't believe how cheap Cheese is back in the UK. A middle of the road cheese is $16Kg. Better quality or niche Cheese would be close to $35Kg. I used to like Cracker Barrel but it's now waxy like processed cheese.

[@nathanbrady2704]

I enjoy the ASDA cheese, what I do is buy the Just Essentials Mature white, mild white and red leister cheese, as well as 2 of thier hard white cheese. then I grate them all into a big bucket, mix well and freeze off portions. then I can enjoy cheese on toast or cheese sauce all month long without the cheese getting mouldy or sweaty.

The net weight of food produce isn't always precise, there is some leeway when it comes to UK food weight and measures regulations. The listed net weight on the package is just the typical average weight of the food that's inside it (without any packaging). However, UK regulations allow producers and manufacturers around a -/+ 5% leeway in the net weight, when it comes to labelled packaged food produce. However, in some cases that can be up to +/-20% dependant on the product. This is often due to some inaccuracies or changes in it's weight that can occur during processing, preparation, pre-cooking and packaging/tinning. Along with other things like some food naturally losing moisture over time or slight variations in item count and size (especially fresh food like veg or fruit). Basically, any food product you buy will always be a toss of a coin, when it comes to the actual weight you get for you money. The company that produced it or supermarket that sold it really doesn't matter, since as it's actual weight will always slightly vary dependant on which pack you chose to pick up of the shelf. Occasionally it's weight will be under that listed, occasionally it'll be over and occasionally it'll be spot on As such it's a pretty pointless to even compare supermarket product's based on the actual weight vs the listed weight.

Something not mentioned that some might not like to hear but it’s worth saying - cathedral city sources milk from 300 odd local dairies where conditions for cows are reasonable. Cheaper cheeses tend to come from factory farmed milk cows that never go outside and live with their legs chained together to prevent them collapsing under weight of their artificially inflated udders

[@mikelucas7171]

Good video but me being me if you look at the packets you prob will see an e in a circle near the weight? Thats because not all packets are weighed so it means its just an average for the batch being made. The average weighing rules means you can legally produce product under the stated weight aslong as the overall average is aboue T1 only items that are weighed under T2 cant be sold... Told you I was sad. But food companies know this so they do this on purpose but its 100% legal to do.

I would suggest the Asda one could maybe used for going with baked beans to add a little extra as it were. The Aldi one is good going and great value. The Cathedral city you could probably have as tasting cheese as it were, maybe a few pieces like cubes to savour. If you get the opportunity try Mexicana it’s a spicy cheese and worth adding to stuff like pizza or with meatballs and cheesy beans. It’s world cheese championships at the moment so maybe have some extra to celebrate, you can never have enough cheese.

The reason Cheese can "bubble and burn" is usually common in Pre Grated Cheese, this is because Pre Grated uses Anti Clumping Agents like starches and flours to stop cheese from well clumping, as a result this causes the observed behaviour

[@Mounhas]

I have bought pre grated cheese maybe 4 times and each time it seems less moist in sandwiches compared to home grated, now I know why. The addition of potato starch to pre grated for anti clumping. Now I know why! 👍

[@LetsTalk_ManUtd]

But also if you keep non grated cheese under the grill for longer u get the same effect

[@arthurdanielles4784]

Growing up on a farm in Cornwall (UK) cheese was a product that featured a lot on our table.. over the years Extra mature has always been a firm favourite. Davidstow is our current go to choice. It has a nice crumbly rich flavour. A lot of 'mass produced' cheeses can be a little rubbery... often because the curing times can vary enormously. Some cheese producers use agents that speed up the curing time. I don't recommend too much cheese especially as your health issues can reflect problems such as high blood pressure, cholesterol and similar. HOWEVER a bit of cheese on toast or in a toastie or omelette.. 😜or on crackers with a glass of malt whiskey.. 😜

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal, good information 👌👌

[@stephenguppy7882]

I love Davidstow cheddar. I am a Somerset lad si cheddar is king, but an omelette or toastie is always served in my house with scrumpy.

[@brucedanton3669]

Because of the saturated fats I guess of course. I too have high blood pressure and cholesterol, so in a way you have to be very wary of the fats in cheese and that at times, but as long as you don't have too much it can be very nice indeed too! Thank you of course anyway!

[@dizzydantube]

Davidstow and Cathedral City are made by the same company now so both mass produced cheeses. I really wish I could afford to buy locally produced cheeses or from small independent businesses but the cosy of living means I have to buy whats affordable and unfortunately mass production will always be cheaper. I usually buy the Asda block but will try the Aldi one next time based on the price and your review. Thank you.

[@stevenc5227]

if you butter the toast, its stops the cheese soaking into the bread, tends to stay on top more, also if the cheese starts to burn, then the temperature is too high, i like to put Worcester sauce on cheese on toast, i buy my cheese at Lidl.

[@mikethedigitaldoctorjarvis]

If anyone who has had mature cheese and wondered why there were small crunchy bits in it !? It is Calcium Lactate, formed by the lactic acid in cheese combining with calcium. Again, this happens only in fully aged, mature cheeses. Although this Calcium Lactate crystal is still found in cheese, the most commonly desired crystal and the one that is encouraged is that of the 'Tyrosine' amino acid.

[@snowysnowyriver]

I love those crunchy bits!

[@HappyBagger]

Totally agree. Colliers extra mature I. The black pack is lush. Sometimes has those tasty crystals too. Not easy to source but Morrison often do I around 8.50/kg. Morrisons "for farmers" extra mature is a close second. Serve at room temperature 👍

The best cheeses give you the head sweats and give you that feeling in your cheeks. I prefer extra mature myself, the texture is a lot different too.

If you don't want it all to go bad, grate it or chop into smaller blocks and freeze it, then you can take out smaller amounts and keep using it before it goes bad. Food processor with a grater will work best. (sometimes it goes crumbly when defrosted so best to grate it).

[@carolwaller9605]

If it develops mould simply cut if off, whatever is underneath will always be perfect. grated cheese goes off more quickly and as it is grated you can’t rescue it, unless of course you freeze it. I’ve never had to as mine lasts ages without developing mould but to achieve this I never physically touch the cheese, push it out of it wrapper and slice, squeeze it back into the wrapper and seal.

[@cheekymonkey666]

i think you cut the cheese too thin for cheese on toast i like a good 5-8mm of cheese to melt on top so the fat pools on top... so now you gunna have to make maccaronni cheese, cheese coleslaw, grated cheese on top of cottage pie... now im hungry lol

I made my own vintage cheddar by mistake recently. I usually buy 1kg blocks of vacuum packed cheddar and then leave them in the fridge, not opening them until they are at least 3 months past their use-by date so they've developed a bit of flavour. Recently though I discovered at the back of the fridge a 1kg block I had overlooked and on checking found that it was 15 months past its use-by date. I eagerly opened it and cut myself off a chunk, it was absolutely gorgeous and tasted like a good vintage cheddar but at something like half the cost or less.

Hi Gareth. Shame on you! 🙈 I told you how to do this a few months ago. You obviously need a calculator but it really is easy! S o take it one line at a time: Price (In £0.00s) divided by weight (in grams) multiplied by 1000 (to convert to Kilograms). It’s that simple! So taking the Asda @ £3.85 weighing 825g. 3.85 / 825 X 1000 = £4.67 per kilo. If you’re still struggling ask your kids. I bet they could do it standing on their heads! Let me know how you get on!

I totally agrree with you for the value it has got to be Aldis cheese, but have another test . I judge a cheese on its texture also! I cannot stand rubberry chedar, or as I call it mouse trap cheese The stuff you can bend it and it springs back flat!, In my opinion chedar should have a slight crumble to it, not as much as cheshire cheese, So when I buy my aldi mature I check packs to see the most open textured cheese, Which in my opinion are towards the outside the cheese from when it is made! so the outsides are the most matured part of the cheese and they look that a bit more grainy in texture than the rest ot the cheese. they not hard to find most days, just look for a pack with one edge not perfectly square cut that will be an outside. no problem if i can't find otside as the rest is still great cheese.

Hello Gareth, you could cut the cheese into smaller pieces and freeze them, just take as much as you need out of the freezer at a time.

I saw a pizza in Sainsbury's chilled section yesterday. Its topping comprised cheese and "cheese food" I think it was called. What?!

[@automaticacidemer]

I was enjoying this video, but the fact that you use cheese on toast as the definitive test is just amazing 🤣 👏Best foodie on KZbin by miles

Thank you kindly 🙏

[@plbingham]

agree with what Teresa Last has said - I've stopped buying Cathedral and been to Aldi, MUCH much better and far better quality.

[@dannygeorge7909]

There are some foods that i can’t do on the cheap..... sausages are the main one!! But cheese I don’t mind going cheap..... I’m off too Aldi...... cheers 👍

[@klackon1]

By coincidence, I was tucking into eggs and melted Aldi mature cheddar on two thick slices of sourdough toast with Daddies brown sauce and Tesco finest pork sausages. Can't disagree Gaz, Aldi cheddar is one of my favourites, too.

Oh my , I could just eat that x

[@MikeyRussell88]

And it's much cheaper to grate yourself and keep in the fridge, I personally like a blend of extra mature and gloucester on a cheese toastie or a baked potato.

[@deannastomer7145]

Ooh thanks mate. Can you please compare lamb chops, as its all over the place price wise. The bloody butchers near us was asking £14 for little lamb chops! Asda was £4 something!

[@thornbird6768]

Now it’s easy to get decent cheese I wouldn’t entertain anything cheap , especially for cheese on toast 👍🏻 Cathedral City is dearer but tastes lovely . The pre-grated in a bag is what I normally buy , that’s cheaper 👍🏻 that cheese slicer looks good 👍🏻 any idea where you or your good lady wife bought it .

[@JLR-gf3le]

Digital scales Gareth!😂 I have the same pair but I definitely don’t put food on there cheese tho if you know you know 👌😂😂

I threw a block of cheddar at my sister the other day… …she said “that’s not very mature!”

FIRST CHEESE: I averaged here but each g worth approx 0.73 pence so 2.5 g underweight is 1.83p. If they sell 1 million blocks of this cheese today they will make an extra £18,264.84! That's ONE employee's wages YOU pay for, but there are 7 days in a week and l can guarantee they sell more than a million blocks of cheese a day. And l expect this was carefully accounted so we actually pay their employee's wages. Weights & Measures (a British Government office) should be checking this.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers John yes lots of money for them isn't it. My steak comparison weighed them both and Tesco was well under weight specified.

[@johnkean6852]

@@BaldFoodieGuy Tesco are the worst surprisingly for stealing money off shoppers but they're all at it. I've been overcharged in every store every time l shopped. (Now abroad.) They have those auto tellers now, l bet they're missing all that overcharge?

[@enarabone2555]

Hi, you can't get a really decent cheddar any more that's really strong. I think the highest maturity they go to now is level 5. When I was growing up and in my teens we got things from the corner shop including mature cheddar cheese and butter straight out of barrels and cut according to the amount required by the customer. The cheddar cheese back then I would put on a level 10 minimum, I loved it when you bit into it it would bite you back, absolutely out of this world - fantastic. My aunt said I was just like my dad, cheddar cheese in one hand and an onion in the other, chomping away at them both. How I miss those days and I feel sad for all of the food we have lost (that they don't make anymore), people are so finiky these days, such a shame as they don't know what they've missed out on. Thanks for the cheese video and you should have tried farmfoods 1kg extra mature cheddar. Take care and see you soon with your next video 😃👍

[@lyndamcleod2242]

Yes! I remember going to the co op and it was in barrels , you could get any amount you wanted no matter how small !

[@pheart2381]

Ive had cheese from Cheddar Gorge,which we ate in Cheddar Gorge carpark. Nothing like the damp flabby tasteless supermarket offering. Cheddar and wensleydale are almost tasteless now,and lack the tangy hit on the palate. And Edam. It no longer melts,its like plastic!!

[@sahhull]

The thing is with supermarket own brands... Buy one, try it... You might actually like it. If you dont like it. Its not the end of the world.. Go back to your fave brand or try another.

[@nige3801]

I absolutely love cheese Gareth, especially cheese on toast! I usually look for extra mature or sharp cheddar and have it toasted with encona hot pepper sauce on the top, lovely fruity heat! Cheers mate, great comparison.
