Fiery Fred’s Crazy Cheddar

With a natural flavour strong enough to wake the dead this Cheddar is not for the faint hearted.

£3.95£15.00

Description

Fiery Fred’s Crazy Cheddar is named after our very own Fred Gould who’s late Mother ‘Mrs Gould’ started making cheese here at Batch Farm back in 1964. This Cheddar has a natural hint of onion and at 18 to 36 months mature is the most senior member of our Cheddar range. Having built up a reputation here in Somerset as ‘the strongest cheddar around’ if you love stinky cheese this is the one for you.

    As I said in my last review I would buy some more and I did, I can’t get enough of this strong cheese!!!!

  6. Alan Foss (verified owner)

    The best cheddar I’ve tried, you can still taste it 10 mins after eating it! I live in kent and you only get the supermarket 🧀 cheeses where I live, this is a proper 🧀 cheese and I will definitely buy it again (Lovely on Crackers)! Alan

    At last, a cheddar that comes close to the “tasty” cheddar I remember from youth in Somerset/Dorset, which was so strong it “made the roof of your mouth itch” (to quote my son). I will certainly order more in the future, and my son has already ordered some for himself. Keep up the good work – the stronger the better!

    Amazing cheese and prompt delivery. Will be buying again.

  41. Ben

    Upon opening the packet I thought I might have made a mistake. It may be because just hours previously I’d had the pleasure of clearing a kitchen waste pipe that had been blocked for months and the smell emanating from the packet wasn’t entirely dissimilar. First bite of the cheese….that’s interesting. Second bite….LOVE IT! Proper strong cheddar that actually tastes ‘farmy’. Recommended for those who eat with their mouths, not their noses. Knocked one star off because I’m tired of visiting friends and family asking what the smell is.

  42. Mark P. (verified owner)

    Hands down the best cheddar . Unctuous just superb

  43. Colin Jones (verified owner)

    Would give more than 5 stars if possible – simply the best cheddar!!

    Quite literally the best strong cheddar I have ever tasted! My wife discovered it at Glastonbury where I was performing (Attila the Stockbroker) and knew I would like it. But she makes me keep it in the SHED because it smells
    so wonderful 🙂

    Fiery Fred’s Cheddar is the best cheese I have ever tasted. We discovered it at Glastonbury and I actually sang its praises on the Cabaret stage that year. I have over 40,000 social media followers (check Attila the Stockbroker on Facebook and Twitter ) and have sent quite a few your way. For a couple of lumps a month I am happy to do loads of publicity for you 🙂

    Okay, this is a bit crazy. Possibly the strongest non-blue cheese I’ve ever had. Tastes better than it smells. While interesting, not sure it would be one I’d have too often.

    Weapons-Grade Cheddar, what Pilgrims and Cathedral city vintage fail to be (as reasonable as they are) this is what A mature, hard cheese should be.

    Do not eat without a good Merlot or Pinotage even an East-Coast IPA

    Absolutely fantastic
