Charcoal cheddar cheese

TASTE: A creamy mature cheddar with added charcoal giving it a black colour. It has a gritty texture from the charcoal and is something different to the norm for your cheeseboard. QUALITY: Charcoal cheese is a striking, jet-black British cheddar infused with edible activated charcoal that offers a creamy texture with a mild, rich flavour. Pioneered in the UK by artisan makers like Michael Lee in Yorkshire, where the charcoal is thoroughly blended into the curds before pressing and waxing.
