I don't really know why so many American companies do it. Perhaps it has something to do with perceived expectations of the consumers. I'm able to find cheddar and other cheeses without color added here (in Maryland) but only at certain health food stores. <br /><br />Your cave-cured cheese sounds WONDERFUL! How nice to have that so nearby. I will have to add a Cheddar Cave visit to my next UK trip. :)Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882946446188559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591678308795454163.post-49850320699344961152012-01-11T14:44:35.929-05:002012-01-11T14:44:35.929-05:00I come from Somerset (where Cheddar is) and just t...I come from Somerset (where Cheddar is) and just the other day finished off a block of cheddar that was made and cured in the caves at Cheddar. I can attest that true cheddar is pale yellow. But then in the UK all cheese sold as "cheddar" is. So I don't know why american producers feel the need to change the colour? <br /><br />Red Leicester cheese is orange, not cheddar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591678308795454163.post-75664703268384264792012-01-11T11:36:19.642-05:002012-01-11T11:36:19.642-05:00Thanks so much for the comment!

Whether it's truly bad or not, that "wood flour" certainly doesn't sound good! <br /><br />I'm very happy to share with Beyond the Peel as well... thanks for pointing me to your great site! Looks like you have some yummy recipes I will be trying.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882946446188559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591678308795454163.post-11517833572650229582012-01-11T11:30:08.350-05:002012-01-11T11:30:08.350-05:00Fascinating!

He sold it as wood flour. They probably still use it today, but he no longer owns the business. Kind of sick. It always amazes me what it's our food.<br />I'd love it if you'd share this with us at Beyond The Peel. I host Whole Food Wednesdays and I think they'd all love this as much as me. <br /><br />http://www.beyondthepeel.net/2012/01/whole-food-wednesdays-curried-lentil-soup.html<br /><br />Have a great rest of your week.France@beyondthepeelhttp://www.beyondthepeel.net/category/blognoreply@blogger.com
