During the "cheddaring" process the curds are turned 6 times, they stick together and become firm and a little bit rubbery in texture. #cheddarcheesemaking #traditionalcheesemaking #artisancheese #cheddarcheese

The next step in the cheese making process.... The "cheddared" curds are fed through the curd mill and chopped into "chip" sized pieces ready to be salted. #cheesemaking #artisancheddar #traditionalcheddar #artisancheese

Myth: Cows have 4 stomachs. Fact: Cows only have 1 stomach but it is split into 4 parts or chambers which are called the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum, allowing cows to get the most nutrients from the grass based foods they eat. #cows #britishfarming #cheesemaking

The slabs of curd are cut using a curd mill into chip sized pieces and salt is added to preserve the cheese. The cheesemaker mixes the salt into the curds using a huge fork! #cheesemakingprocess #traditionalcheese #artisancheddar #britishcheese #cheesemaker

Cheese moulds lined with blue clothes waiting to be filled with curds - a vat of milk will make around 22 cheese each weighing around 25kg when it's mature. #cheesemaking #cheddarcheese #traditionalcheddar #artisancheese

We use traditional milk churns (with seal-able lids) to grow our specially prepared starter culture which starts the cheese making process! #traditionalcheesemaking #artisancheese #artisancheddar #britishcheese #traditonalcheddar

The cheese moulds are filled with curds, the cheesemaker carefully weighs the amount of curds in each mould so that each cheese will end up the same size. #precision #theartofcheesemaking #traditionalcheesemaking #cheddarcheese
