The latest sales data shows the fastest growing varieties of Cheddar are now the most powerful extra mature and vintage types
Sales of strong, extra mature and vintage Cheddar are rising in the UK, while sales of mild and medium Cheddar are declining. This shift is attributed to increased consumption of spicy foods, leading to a preference for more complex and flavorful cheese profiles. Consequently, Cheddar producers are focusing on creating stronger-tasting varieties to meet growing demand.
