Cathedral City

[happycows]

Not my milk buyer but our usual daily cheese of choice by Mrs HC for cheese sandwiches at lunch/lunch boxes or cooking with like cauliflower cheese and lasagna.
Must say it has changed remarkably. Dryer and more crumbly. Also quite a bit stronger of late to the point tonight I said I think it’s time for a change. I did melted cheese on toast under the grill today and just went lumpy .

I do love tickler for cheese and biscuits but not everyone does it.

Anyone else noticed a change??

Mild or mature ?

Mild or mature ?

Just the regular mild one. Kids definitely prefer it milder.

Mild should be fine for melting , so I'm told by her upstairs

We always buy Cathedral City, nothing else comes close.

Who makes it? I've never looked

I know I’ve probably polished off hundreds of kilos of the stuff over the years! It’s definitely changed.
Is it a coincidence it’s changed hands?
I know they have tried replicating making the cheese at other factories but never managed it.

Where is Colliers made nowadays? I emailed them when Lllandyrnog shut and it was a mickey mouse reply where they said they were looking for a Dairy in Wales with the output or along them lines.

Fridge full and tastes epic.
Sounds like extra mature found its way into the wrong packet

I’d say over the years it has been consistently very good.
My thoughts are not just from one purchase.
More of a noticed change.
It’s a cracking brand that despite being the competition I’d hate to see deteriorate.

Cathedral city here in oatcakes and ham for lunch , no not melting issues

 

[Cowmansam]

I had it not melt yesterday on an oatcake was fairly annoying as fridge was gettin a bit bare for other choices

 

[Kernow Star]

Have noticed this a couple of times but not for a while now. Still by far the best chedder out there.

 

[TheRanger]

It’s that good I sometimes secretly cut up a block of it and eat it straight

We are having the same problems with Galloway mild, probably abouts 4 out of the last 20 packets.

dont you get the plappy cheese mouth

 

[bill and bens dad]

try Hayfields Dairy by mail order, just simply the best imo

 

[HolzKopf]

We should have transparency with the origins of many dairy products in the UK. Not just our other halves but us who work in the industry are also often confused by branding. Dairies and processors change hands as a successful niche brand is bought out by a bigger brother purely to cash in on that brand's popularity.
In some cases the brand gets diluted by moving to factory based production.

Brands are victims of their own success and you can't blame owners who sell out. There are many premium brand dairy products that are now under the umbrellas of larger concerns. Yes we all wish to see smaller producers survive and thrive but milk, cheese and butter are classic cases of 'brand-shift'
