Russethouse Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I have been told that in yesterdays paper there was a story that Entremont, who now produce 20000 tons of Emmental a year, are opening a plant near Quimper where they will be producing 22000 tons of Cheddar !

BJSLIV Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Press Releasehttp://www.flex-news-food.com/pages/13842/Dairy/France/france-entremont-alliance-start-cheddar-production-quimper-plant.htmlCheddar doesn't have the Appellation protection that most French cheeses and Stilton enjoy so virtually anybody can have a go at making it.

Hoddy Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I think I'm right in saying that Stilton is the only English cheese with appellation protection.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 In fact there are over a dozen registered UK cheese types.http://www.defra.gov.uk/foodrin/foodname/pfn/products/registered.htmIts a bit strange , in that the most recent registration is for Staffordshire cheese. I know a fair bit about that county and I have never encountered the cheese. Oatcakes I know well, but no cheese.The list of UK products being considered for registration is quite interesting.http://www.defra.gov.uk/foodrin/foodname/pfn/products/index.htm#4Some of the items have been so debased by commercial exploitation, eg Cornish Pasties, i find it hard to image the successfully gaining registration.
