Cheddar is the best-known variety of cheese and it's the cornerstone of our ADL family of cheeses. ADL Extra-Old Cheddar is carefully aged for about 18 months, and its strong, nutty flavour will tempt the most discriminating palate. 1, record 1, English, - extra%2Dold%20cheddar
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Cheddars vary in flavor depending on the length of aging and their origin. As cheddar slowly ages, it loses moisture and its texture becomes drier and more crumbly. Sharpness becomes noticeable at 12 months (old cheddar) and 18 months (extra old cheddar). 2, record 1, English, - extra%2Dold%20cheddar

La période de vieillissement est un facteur essentiel de métamorphose du fromage. Entre un cheddar doux, pratiquement pas vieilli, et un cheddar extra fort-âgé d’au moins dix-huit mois-il y a une différence de goût allant de l'insipidité à des odeurs et une saveur typiques. 1, record 1, French, - cheddar%20extra%20fort
