Okay. Wikipedia says:

"Australia

As of 2013, Cheddar accounts for over 55% of the Australian cheese
market, with average annual consumption around 7.5 kg (17 lb) per
person.[29] Cheddar is so ubiquitous that the name is rarely used:
instead, Cheddar is sold by strength alone as e.g. "mild", "tasty" or
"sharp"."

And:

Strong, extra-mature Cheddar, sometimes called vintage, needs to be
matured for up to 15 months.

Not a real cheese as far as I am concerned :/
