Cheddar cheese before it became common practice to add annatto varied in colour due to the grass at the cows ate. Spring grass is richer in beta carotene so the milk was a deeper colour and so was the cheese. Consumers assumed that the deeper colour meant more milk fat and therefore richer cheese. I suppose that a cow that was fed just carrots would produce an orange cheese. Anyone with a cow willing to test the hypothesis? -- Cymru Llewes Caer Llewys |
