Kraft is not a bad cheese?? Oh Pleeeeze!!🤢🤮
Has nothing to do with aging, Kraft is milder because the manufacturer blends milk from all over the country to give it a flat average taste that does not change due to year-to-year weather fluctuations.
Love that government cheese.
You can get white cheddar on the west coast…
Anything Kerrygold is a superior product – made from grass fed cows and is always delicious!
TILLLLIMOOOOOOK
Can't beat cheddar from Cheddar in England. Its amazing.
How can you say it's sharp cheese, when I went to the US I had a taste of it, it tastes nothing. But I guess it's just my french tongue that is accomodated with strong french cheese
I can't even find Cracker Barrel anymore
the kraft type cheddar is terrible.. it is more like mozzarella with a slight cheddar taste..cracker barrel is good but priced too high.. cabot is very good and reasonably priced.. some chain stores carry a white chedar store brand that is also very good and close enough to cabot.. the kraft type is for people that dont actually know what good cheddar is suppose to be
Old Croc wins
Try some British extra mature Cheddar, it's amazing!
My favorite extra sharp cheddar cheese is Hoffman's Super Sharp Cheddar.
Just FYI, Tillamook has white cheddar
Tillamook cheese, Tillamook butter, and Tillamook ice cream are all my favorites.
I much prefer Tillamook and Cabot cheese
I like this show but sometimes these tastings give waaaaay too much information. Even the lady tasting looked bored. Lol
The Washington State University creamery sells cougar gold and it’s really really good. You have to order it unless you happen to be near Pullman. It’s one of those things you get for someone who loves good cheese as a gift.
8 bucks a pound is a lot. I really enjoy Wisconsin's Weyauwega cheese aka Star Dairy. They have really, really great cheese and butter, and I can get the extra sharp cheddar for about 3 bucks a pound if I buy the irregular weight blocks!
Is that Bridget’s mother in the audience??
Tillamook Extra Sharp White Cheddar 2 Years rules, but may not be available in your area.
Tillamook and Cabot are legit cheese with the three required ingredients: milk, enzyme (rennet), and salt. Most name brands add in extra chemicals, additives, and preservatives making it a cheese-food-product and not authentic cheese.
$1.79 at Aldi for their store brand. It's very good.
California has had excellent white cheddar for decades. Orange is cheap.
Was Tillamook in the mix?
Private Selection makes a Vermont sharp white cheddar that is over the top delicious. I love eating with a tiny smear of raspberry preserves. It's like a tiny bite of cheesecake heaven.
Reminds me of the wheels of cheddar wrapped in red wax we used to get when I was a kid.
Nothing beats Kerrygold.
I would love to see a video on taste testing butter. 💜💜💜
nice they let the homeless make up the majority of the audience.
don't care for the live format – don't want to look at audience members – meh
So two Kraft cheeses? I wouldn't buy either. Kerrygold is good, I'm with the other posters, Tillamook is a co-op, and one of the first to go with no BST cows. It's a fine cheese , a fine dairy association, not a megacorp producing ordinary product.
Aww man, how could you do this without including the two American cheddar experts: Tillamook on the west and Cabot on the east?
I love extra sharp cheddar brand Crystal Farms here in Minneapolis. I find it is a nice solid block that slices well for crackers or melting on omelets and has great taste. However I’m going to have to try Kerrygold at least once. 🥰☕️
