Recommend me a mature cheddar

[Gunk]

I love a decent Cheddar, one that smells of damp cellars and makes your mouth water even thinking about it. This is my favourite.

Alex James No.1 cheddar is nice but a bit pricey (if you can find it). I got mine from the Cheese Hamlet in Didsbury of all places.

Aren't proper cheese shops great. They let you try loads at my local one in Chester.

Been there. They tried to sell me some brie. Other than that, they are perfect.

I bought brie from there for xmas, and 4 or 5 others, all very nice.

Latest purchase from the farmers' market, eye-wateringly expensive, but there's a lot of affinage to justify the price.
Haven't dared to open it yet!

OTOH, it will have a pretty punchy flavour I can imagine, so you won't need over much to get the full effect. Which, like with Parmigiano, will make it rather economical.

For me it has to be Snowdonia Cheese Company's 'Black Bomber'
