Some people may be surprised to find that Cheddar Cheese originated from Cheddar Gorge in the village of Cheddar, south west England. Cheddar Gore is a limestone gorge. It contains a number of caves, which provide the ideal humidity and steady temperature for maturing cheese. It is said that this is the place where cheddar cheese was first made.
