So, as apparently everyone else in the world says - the last time I was in #CheddarGorge was when I was about 12 years old. This photo is in #GoughsCave which is also home to the skeleton of the cave's most famous body - a modern human known as Cheddar Man who was unearthed in 1903. His near-complete skeleton has been dated to around 10,000 years ago. This time I was there to learn about the @CheddarGorgeCheeseCo who use traditional methods and unpasturised milk to create wonderful #CheddarCheese which is matured for up to 26 weeks, either in their own stores or in Gough's Cave where the constant temperature and humidity helps to age the cheese perfectly. We went along to take a look. Unlike the caves in Roquefort where I went at the wrong time of year and got to see plastic cheeses, Cheddar is produced all year round - and these are real cheeses. We got to taste- deliciously salty with lovely deep flavour. Unlike many other cheeses, there's no PDO for Cheddar so it can be produced anywhere in the world, but this is the only Cheddar produced in Cheddar Gorge! #travelblogger #travelphotography #instagood #instatravel #igersfrance #guardiantravelsnap #picoftheday #travellife #instatravelling #lifestyleblogger #travelinstyle #londonblogger #tbin #ttot #bubbles #girlswhotravel #lifestyleblogger #sheisnotlost #westcountry #LoveSomerset #LoveforSomerset #WestCountry
