Hailing from Dorset, England, this cow’s milk cheddar is created following a cheesemaking tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. Infused with grassy notes from its English fields of origin, Murray’s Aged English Cheddar is matured for a 12-14 months until it emerges with a foundation of tangy and nutty undertones—think sour cream, toasted hazelnuts, and savory pot roast. Try it with a dollop of Hillside Caramelized Fig Chutney served on a Firehook Sea Salt Cracker!
“Murray's Aged English Cheddar is like candy in cheese form. I love the crunchy texture and the sweet, nutty taste. I’ll snack on it while I shred it for my favorite mac and cheese recipe.”

- Cheddar dates back to the Middle Ages, within origins in the village of Cheddar located in Somerset, England.
- The term cheddar refers not only to a style of cheese but also the process that’s used to make it. Cheddaring is a technique during cheesemaking where the curd is cut into small pieces to further drain the whey and create the cheddars we love. First, the curd is cooked and the whey is drained, then the actual cheddaring begins, when the curds are piled together and cut into long slabs, which are turned and stacked over and over until they consolidate and become firmer as the rest of the whey drains, creating the building blocks for cheddar cheese.
- Cheddar is the most popular cheese in the United Kingdom, making up 51% of their cheese consumption. However, it’s ranked number two in the U.S., falling behind mozzarella.
- Unlike its clothbound cousins, known for more earthy, horseradish flavors, Murray’s English Cheddar contains sweeter, caramelly notes!
