A better mousetrap

Dorset Drum cheddar

Noshing & Sipping by Theresa Regli

Cheddar may be one of the most popular cheeses in America, but our domestic versions don't have the same pungency as the original cheese from Cheddar, England. A recent revival of British farmhouse cheesemaking means that more good English cheddars are making their way to stores on this side of the Atlantic. Dorset Drum cheddar is one of these: made on a farm in the county of Dorset, it's a sharp, semi-firm white cheddar that's too good to eat any other way but in unadorned slices. The cheese costs about $9 a pound at cheese shops and some supermarkets, including the Allston Star Market.
