Although Cheddar cheese is made in many countries including the US, New Zealand, Canada and Ireland, it originated in the Somerset village of Cheddar and this English cheese was enjoyed way back in the 12th century when Henry II ordered 10,000 lbs worth of it! (That’s a big sandwich! - Beeble.) It is possible that Cheddar was sold in the town of that name and possibly produced in a different area, but Cheddar cheese has been linked to that part of the West Country for years. The nearby Cheddar caves provided the ideal conditions – humid, with constant temperature – for the cheese to mature.

Nothing could be nicer than a snack of fresh bread and cheese, perhaps a chunk of Cheddar or a delicious piece of Camembert or Stilton and some fruit to go with it – a perfect combination. It is also extremely nutritious providing, among other good things: vitamin A for eyesight, vitamin B12 for red blood cells, calcium for strong bones, protein for growth and repair and magnesium for muscle function.
