That is about half a pound of cheese
No it is a soft cheese made from water buffalo milk.
My brother works in the food industry and his theory is that the gritty texture of mature cheddar is due to lactose crystals...anyone know different?
basicly you get some cheesy willy with blue cheese,red leicester, mature cheddar, cheddar, edam all of that all metled on toasted bread with butter! :D
Yes it is .
Cheddar - the village, and Cheddar Gorge - the feature, holding Goughs' and Cox's Caves (show-caves). Ironically one dairy uses the exit tunnel in commercial-rival Wookey Hole, at the foot of Ebbor Gorge only a few miles from Cheddar, to mature its own Cheddar Cheese!
there really isnt, its just that this one person was bored one day and decided to create a cheese but the cheese they made was almost exactly the same as cheddar but they gave it another name so no one would suspect them of stealing a cheese recipe. (thats not true incase you dont already know. lol )
There are hundreds of types of Cheddar. The basic varieties a re "mild", "Mature" and "Sharp". Many regions now make their own versions of cheddar most of which have their own distinct taste.
Mature cheese can come from any country. Maturity is just how long the cheese has been left before being sold.

cheese that has yet to mature in its development and fall off the tree
This depends on whether you mean how much is it in monitory terms or gram weight. An ounce is a 16th of a pound or it is 16 drams or it is 28.349 grams. Cheddar cheese is made and sold all over the World, but only "true" Cheddar is made in the town of Cheddar in Somerset in England. In monitory terms some cheese sellers would give you an ounce of Cheddar as a taster. Go to any "Farmer's Market" in the UK and they are giving very generous samples away. If you went into a supermarket to buy an ounce of Cheddar it would probably cost around 15p to 25p depending on the quality, age, maturity or strength and whether you buy it in a Deli or a Supermarket. Whilst I'm on the subject of cheese, a strong cheese is not definitely a mature cheese and visa versa. What makes a cheese strong is the amount of salt that they put in it.
