Product Description
It took us a while to find a Cheddar that could live up to iGourmet's standards. But while visiting the English countryside, we discovered a worthy candidate. This aptly named drum-shaped delight from Dorset sets a new standard for Cheddar excellence. Perfectly aged, hand-dipped in a black wax and packaged in a decorative box, Dorset Drum makes an excellent gift. Exceptionally sweet and tangy, it tastes nothing like any mass-produced Cheddar you have ever sampled. This quality product does come with a price however - it is one of the most expensive Cheddars for sale in America.

This cheese and my husband's home baked bread makes the best grilled cheese sandwich in the world. It is wonderfully decadent.

Excellent taste. All who partook said it was much better than the other four farm house cheddars I was serving.

Since moving to the US from England, there are a couple of food items that I truly miss.. one of those is good English Cheddar Cheese. I have tried many cheddars from the supermarkets but nothing comes close since I prefer a sharp taste. Some cheeses are supposedly English but you find they are made in the US.
Recently I ordered this particular cheese from igourmet (their website is exceptional btw). The items are shipped in special containers with ice packs to keep the temperature low. This particular cheese is covered in some food wax so when you peal it aware, you receive a very fresh looking cheese. The taste of this cheese is outstanding and a very nice sharp cheddar. Highly recommended.
