155. Montgomery's Cheddar


155_montgomery_cheddar.jpg


Montgomery's Cheddar is a tradtional farmhouse cheese from southwest England's Somerset, home of the town of Cheddar. The Montgomery family are one of the last producers to still use calf's rennet to separate the curd from whey of the unpasteurized milk. Aged over 14 months the cheese has a brittle texture producing shards instead of clean slices.
This is an amazing cheddar. Fleming said this is one of her favorite cow's milk cheeses. Because of the active cultures the flavors can vary greatly from cheese to cheese and from tasting to tasting of the same cheese. Worth finding and keeping and tasting over and over again.

This was good, but as I'm not a HUGE cheddar fan, there are others that I do prefer, but many people enjoyed this when I served it at a party.

I was introduced to Montgomery's Cheddar about 6 months ago. I enjoyed the complexity of the taste and texture. It's not a cheese I could eat a lot of in one sitting, but I will definitely buy more in the future.
