Cathedral City Mature Cheddar

As my other reviews will demonstrate I'm not a brand snob whatsoever, if I can save a few pounds by buying a cheaper brand I will, and if the cheaper alternative proves to be a good choice then I will stick with them. Saying that though, there are few things that I won't compromise on, and Cheese is one of them. Having always been partial to a nice bit of cheese I have, over the years tried a lot of the varieties available, Cheddar and Red Leicester are particular favourites and when, a few years ago, Cathedral City Mature Cheddar was launched I bought some to try. Loving it back then and still loving it now, Cathedral City is a regular purchase of ...  Read the complete review

Cathedral City Mature Cheddar.... I have to admit to being a bit of a cheeseaholic and will often refrain from buying nicer cheese so the fear of scoffing the whole slab down is taken away! I am mostly a lover of the real strong type of cheese so I will often opt for the Cathedral City Cheese so that others in the house can eat it and I am not overly fussed with eating it too much. The cheese itself is like most name brand cheese quite expensive but I will often buy it when it is on some sort of special offer and stock up as the use by date is invariably rather long and it can be kept nicely in the fridge. The most recent purchase I made was ...  Read the complete review

Way back in 1996, and I only remember the year because I was pregnant, I was working as an office manager for a little country hotel. So one night someone called down and asked for cheese on toast but did we have Cathedral City cheddar? It turned out we did, and the cheese on toast looked so nice I asked chef very nicely if I could have some too. I took it back to the office, and from first bite I was hooked. I developed a habit of nipping into the larder during quiet moments to peel back the wax paper and chip a bit off the block to nibble. Yes, it was stealing, technically, but I was well into the cravings phrase of pregnancy and anyone who's ...  Read the complete review

I am quite picky about my cheese in general, but Cathedral City's Mature Cheddar is one of the best I've had recently. The packet is rather noticeable, with its distinctive red packaging, although perhaps has a lot of competition on the cheese shelf, because so many cheeses do tend to have bright coloured designs. Nevertheless, it's designed ease of use at the core of its concern, for the packet can be resealed to ensure that your cheese lasts longer, and maintains a little of its inherent moisture and softness. It's quite a delight to take your first bite of this cheese - it has a very smooth texture that almost reminds me of plastic in the same way that a ...  Read the complete review

I'm a bit of a cheese addict . I love pretty much all cheeses - rie, Camembert, Edam, all the funny ones with herbs in. But for a good old fashioned cheese sandwich, or a hot and bubbling cheese on toast, you can't beat a good old wedge of mature cheddar. Cathedral City Cheddar have been advertising on TV a lot, adverts with various people staring lustfully at cheese on toast, the advert always ending with the words 'You see it, You want it '. Those ads make me hungry, and so cheese on toast it is! Cathedral City is a pretty mature cheese . Cheese is rated between 1 and 5 on strength, with one as the mildest and 5 as the maturest . It comes in at a ...  Read the complete review
