#2 The Cheese Board-Cheddar Traditional Cache
UGGY: Time for this series to go and free up some space for new hides. After almost 9 years most of the cheese has been nibbled and the rest has gone mouldy so no longer very appetising. Thanks to all who visited The Cheese Board.

Full description at #1
We'll continue with what is probably the most consumed cheese in the world.
CHEDDAR - originated from Somerset around the late 12th Century and took its name from the Gorge or caves in the town of Cheddar that were used to store the cheese.
The constant temperature and humidity of the caves provided a perfect environment for maturing the cheese.
The town also gave its name to a unique part of the cheesemaking process – known as Cheddaring - which is the process of turning the slabs of curd and piling them on top of each other in a controlled way to help drain the whey. It also stretches the curd. The process helps to create a harder cheese with firm body and is unique to Cheddar making.
