Cache 2 is accessible without going into the field on your left as you approach. Cheddar is the UK's most popular cheese, accounting for 51% of all cheese sales, over 262 000 tonnes is made here annually . It has no protected status , so therefore it can be produced anywhere , however only cheddar with milk from the 4 counties of SW England can use the name "West country Farmhouse Cheddar" In my opinion cheddar gets better with age , after 6 months large crystals of calcium lactate form, giving delicious crunchy bits.
