1. cheddar

   Cheddar is a type of hard, often sharp-tasting cheese that originated in the English village of Cheddar in Somerset. Made from cow's milk, it is typically pale yellow in color but can also be artificially dyed to appear more yellow-orange. It is one of the most popular cheese types in the UK and the US, and is used in a wide variety of dishes. Cheddar cheese is known for its rich, nutty flavor which becomes sharper and more complex with age.

1. Cheddar

   Cheddar is a large village and civil parish in the Sedgemoor district of the English county of Somerset. It is situated on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills, 9 miles north-west of Wells. The civil parish includes the hamlets of Nyland and Bradley Cross. The village, which has its own parish council, has a population of 5,093 and the parish has an acreage of 8,592 acres as of 1961. Cheddar Gorge, on the northern edge of the village, is the largest gorge in the United Kingdom and includes several show caves including Gough's Cave. The gorge has been a centre of human settlement since Neolithic times, including a Saxon palace. It has a temperate climate and provides a unique geological and biological environment that has been recognised by the designation of several Sites of Special Scientific Interest. It is also the site of several limestone quarries. The village gave its name to Cheddar cheese and has been a centre for strawberry growing, with the crop being transported on the Cheddar Valley line, which closed in the late 1960s but is now a cycle path. It is now a major tourist destination with several cultural and community facilities, including the Cheddar Show Caves Museum.
