**What is this Cathedral City of which you speak?** Cathedral City is the name of a cheese which hit our supermarket shelves big time relatively recently. We have long been aware of many types of cheese in our supermarkets and delis (gloucester, cheddar brie etc) but branded hard cheese has largely been confined to local cheeses and county trademarks. Dairy Crest, a milk purchasing and distribution company decided to change all that and in 2009 Dairy Crest's food division, Cathedral City, announced that annual retail sales exceeded £200 million for the first time, ten times its 1995 value (Source: TNS). *Product perception and ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to cheese, I usually choose cheddar over any other simply because this is the only one I know most about and also it usually is cheaper than other cheeses. When it comes to choosing a block of cheese, I will look for cheddar, but also for the lowest price. After all if a cheese is cheddar, I assume the taste will not change too much whether it is £1.00 or £3.00 right? or am i wrong?

When Cathedral City was on offer at my local supermarket on a 1 for 1 deal, I just couldnt resist. I paid £4.00 and got 2 600g´s of ...  Read the complete review

Cheese is something I don't normally pay much attention to, or at least, in terms of getting cheddar for the weekly sandwiches or to grate on top of beans or whatever. Other cheeses I do have a scout round to make an informed decision based on how mouthwatering it looks and how much money I can really spend on cheese. But cheddar I normally just pick up the bog standard stuff, depending on where I am at the time. The rest of my family don't go in for mature cheddar. They much prefer the mild flavour stuff, and find mature much too strong for them. I'm happy to have either, and when I saw this on a buy one get one free offer last week, and worked it out to cost ...  Read the complete review

In recent years, since the days of the credit crunch has shown its face, when I have needed to buy cheese usually for use as an ingredient in another main meal, I have been opting for the cheaper 'Tesco Value' option, which is definitely not the tastiest, but does the job. Then I noticed a 'buy one get one free' offer on a brand which I would normally consider to be overpriced and too expensive for the likes of me but thought I'd give it a go for the price. I was very impressed by the quality and taste of the Cathedral City Cheddar. I would never pretend to be any kind of expert on cheese, but comparing this to the Tesco value variety ...  Read the complete review
