Warning Don't Buy These 8 UK Cheddar Cheese Brands And 5 That Are Actually Real Cheese
Most British shoppers assume cheddar is cheddar. A block from the supermarket chiller, a familiar name on the front, "mature" in big letters, and a picture of a farm or a cathedral to settle the matter.
But the word cheddar has no legal definition in Britain, and neither does mature. Any block of hard cheese can carry both. The real protection is a small seal that only a handful of makers are allowed to use, and most of the biggest brands do not have it.
In this video, we investigate thirteen cheddar brands on UK supermarket shelves and ask one simple question: which ones are still made the way cheddar was meant to be made, and which ones are trading on packaging, nostalgia, or a name?
In this video, you'll discover:
Why "cheddar" and "mature" can legally be printed on almost anything
The seal on the pack that separates protected West Country cheddar from everything else
The brand with a cathedral on the front that is made in a factory a long way from the cathedral
The ownership trail behind Britain's biggest cheddar brand, and the deal that is about to change hands again
Why the number of farms making cheddar in cloth has fallen from around fifty to about twelve
The five rules of our Cheddar Label Check, so you never buy the wrong block again
Every claim in this video is based on current labels, supermarket listings, company information, public records, or named sources.
At UK Food Exposed, we investigate what British consumers are actually getting for their money, from supermarket shelves to restaurant chains and the heritage brands we grew up trusting.
