Homemade Cheddar - Cheese in your favorite version

Homemade Cheddar - Cheese in my favorite version. The name of the cheese comes from the village of Cheddar in England, and its history begins in the 12th century. Today it is at the forefront of the most consumed cheeses. It is very popular in Europe and America. There are many varieties of it, differing in appearance, color and taste. It is usually produced in the form of large circles beyond the capacity of an amateur cheese factory, but it is worth trying to make it in smaller quantities. Depending on the aging time, Cheddar can be categorized as mild, moderately spicy, spicy and very spicy. It is one of the cheeses for which even a few years of storage is not a feat, and it should be noted that it is worth the wait. Properly stored cheese will reward you with its unique taste.
Cheddar also comes in different colors. It can have a traditional light color, most often found in English cheeses, or various shades of orange, from light to very intense. The color of this cheese is due to the natural dye annatto or curcumin. These dyes have a minimal effect on the flavor and aroma of the cheese, which is why they are commonly used not only in Cheddar, but also in smaller amounts in other cheeses to bring their color to life. The characteristic stage of cheese production, called cheddarization, also comes from the name of this cheese.
