How to Make Cheddar Cheese (with Taste Test)

How to Make Cheddar Cheese!
Cheddar cheese may just be the most popular cheese in America, and maybe the most popular cheese in the world! There’s just something about the way it crowns a burger, or fancies up a bowl of macaroni and cheese. It’s love at first bite.
If you want to learn how to make cheddar cheese, then watch this video and set aside part of a Saturday to make it. It’s not a difficult process, but it took me about 6 hours to get it into the first press. You will feel like an accomplished cheesemaker for sure!
Happy cheese making!
