The ancient art of Clothbound Cheddar
Real Clothbound Cheddar is made according to a centuries-old tradition. Unlike modern blocks of cheddar that mature in plastic, this artisanal cheese is carefully wrapped by hand in a cotton cheesecloth. This cloth is often rubbed with lard or butter to protect the cheese. This creates a beautiful, natural rind and allows the cheese to breathe during the long ripening process.
Because of this unique ripening method, the cheese slowly loses moisture and the flavors become intensely concentrated. The result is a Cheddar with a characteristic crumbly yet deliciously melting texture. You will taste a complex palette of earthy, nutty and slightly sweet notes, perfectly balanced by the addition of mineral-rich Cornish Sea Salt. An absolute must-have for your cheese board, delicious in combination with a sturdy red wine or a classic English ale.
Freshly cut from the knife for an optimal taste experience
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship with the greatest care. As soon as we receive your order, we cut the Clothbound Cheddar fresh from the large round cheese. Immediately afterwards, the piece is packed tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the complex aromas and the delicate structure during shipping, we always send your order including a cooling pack. This allows you to bring absolute top quality into your home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Matured Clothbound Cheddar
What is the difference with normal supermarket Cheddar?
Supermarket Cheddar is often factory cheese that is matured in plastic and has a mild, rubbery texture. Clothbound Cheddar is an artisanal cheese that matures in cloth, causing it to lose moisture and develop a much more intense, complex flavor and a characteristic crumbly structure.
Can I eat the rind of the cheese?
Although the rind is formed naturally by the cheesecloth, it is generally too tough and earthy to eat. We recommend removing the rind before consumption.
Why is Cornish Sea Salt used?
Cornish Sea Salt is harvested by hand in Cornwall and is very rich in natural minerals. It gives the cheese a refined salty touch that goes perfectly with the rich, nutty aromas of the Cheddar.
Do you also sell other English cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to this beautiful Cheddar, we have various other delicious cheeses from England, such as Blue Stilton or the colorful Five Counties. View our complete category English cheese to discover all our flavors.
