How to make Cheddar Cheese (Cloth Banded)

Cheddar cheese, the most widely purchased and eaten cheese in the world is always made from cow's milk. It is a hard and natural cheese that has a slightly crumbly texture if properly cured and if it is too young, the texture is smooth. It gets a sharper taste as it matures, over a period of time between 9 to 24 months. Shaped like a drum, 15 inches in diameter, Cheddar cheese is natural rind bound in cloth while its colour generally ranges from white to pale yellow. However, some Cheddars may have a manually added yellow-orange colour (like mine).

[@rugrboutdoors2491]

This Cheddar was the first cheese I attempted, followed your instructions. I waxed it and just opened it to try it after 3 months of aging. It is way better than I expected. Very mild taste after only aging 3 months. I made some minor mistakes (let the cooking temp get a bit high) but it still came out great. I graded a 1/4 of a wheel for cooking, sliced the other 1/4 for cheese and crackers and re-waxed the remaining half a wheel to let age longer. Great stuff.

[@GavinWebber]

Well done, and congrats for persisting!

Yes i am British. We use to use what we called binders to put around the cheese then the next stage was called pairing (cutting the edges off the cheese after they had been in the press over night) then we use to wax them by hand and when set, they were put in the store room to mature. We use to make butter out of the whey,we had to salt it, kneed it like dough, weigh it into 500 gms and patt it with the old wooden patts, they probably a thing of the past now . Apart from the separator everything was done by hand like u did, but in mass quantities it was very hard work

Love it. I once worked in a Prize Winning Cheddar Chese factory, and the only deviation from what I remember and what you do, is that we tuerned the curd onto all 4 sides and continually drained the whey away to produce a dryer curd. it was also pressed into S/S square frames that could be stacked for storage. Those that were intedend for maturing were then transfered into wooden boxes and stacked in a coolroom for up to 24 months. Most of the production went onto lined pale topped 44 Gal drums and sent to Kraft and turned into blocks of Kraft Cheddar. See, it is made from real cheese. You have got me all inspired, thanks.
