There are many good brands of cheddar. Cabot is one of my favorites, State
brand (New York) is very good also. Expand your horizons and try a few
sharp or extra sharp.

had some ten yr old cheddar from a local(Wisc) cheese house a while back
that had that texture---almost crunchy and most excellent--iirc was about
15bucks/lb(or maybe more)

Ooooooohhhhhhh, I had some like that a few years ago. It was aged much
longer than usual and had a very strong flavor. Expensive, but worth it.

My last White Cheddar was from Vermont. Don't remember the name, but it was
good!

I love trying new cheeses and frequently order from companies that
have won World or American Cheese Awards. This year I've placed a
Christmas gift order from Carr Valley Cheese Company in Wisconsin -

Humbird carries a kickass sharp cheddar, in Tomah; where 94 and 90

Don't pass up their baby swiss, receiving best in state award.

Good name for cheese making country at any rate. Have had their
commercial large volume stuff carried by Costco, pretty darn good for
mass produced cheese.

I favor Pinconning Cheddar, made on the Michigan shores of Lake Huron. I
wonder if anyone has ever heard of it.

I forgot about Washington State University's Cougar Gold - (from their
website:http://www.wsu.edu/creamery/1flavors.html#cougargold) Savor
the nutty flavor of our most famous and popular cheese! Cougar Gold(R)
is a white, sharp cheddar with a taste that resembles Swiss or Gouda.
Aged for at least one year.

My husband asked me to buy some again this year and it arrived
yesterday. It comes in a 32 oz can and is delicious.

I have one can left dated from 1997. It becomes even more delicious the
longer it ages, and being in a vacuum sealed can makes this a breeze if kept
under constant refrigeration. When I called the WSU Creamery to place an
order for this year, I was told that they recently were contacted by someone
who had just opened his 37 year-old cheese and was 'supremely pleased' with
the contents.

Yep, it's the 4th largest body of freshwater in the world...and its shores
are mostly uninhabited.

Well, I can't speak for Wisconsin cheddar, but our local 'Black River
Cheese" (Prince Edward County, Ontario) has amazing five-year-old white
cheddar. It runs about $18 (Cnd) a pound. I recently bought a kilo.
Since I use it mainly in cooking, I freeze it. That changes the
texture, but not the taste.

They also do wonderful garlic mozzarella, dill mozza, and in the spring,
a cheddar with maple syrup.

Hmm - maybe it's time to back an apple pie just so I can have some
five-year-old cheddar with it.

(salivating just thinking about it)

give Mt. Sterling extra sharp goat cheddar a try.
http://www.wisconsinmade.com/mtsterlingcheese/
I enjoy their cheese very much.

When I was a kid, my dad used to go to an old fashioned corner store on
Sunday mornings to buy freshly fried donuts (yum!).

They also had big 20 pound wheels of cheddar, and would cut you off a
pound or two to order.. He liked the extra-sharp, which would pretty much
peel the skin off the inside of your mouth. I've never since had such
sharp cheese, and I scoff at most cheese labeled "Extra Sharp".

I'd love to try some of the cheddar you describe. It sounds like the real
deal.

Try some artisan made Vermont and New York cheese. The brands you name
are mass-produced.

These guys have been doing it the same way for over a hundred years:

http://www.crowleycheese-vermont.com

Might be worth a try if you are looking for some exceptionally good
cheese. And Ed - you're close enough to drive up and get a tour and some
samples.

It would make a nice day trip. There is a barbecue place up there worth
checking out also; I have to get that information.

This is the place http://www.curtisbbqvt.com/

A couple of guys from work went up there last fall and said it was pretty
good. That's all the information I have. If I'm going for cheese, a little
bbq can make the ride a little better.
