The big winner in the tasting competition: Seriously Strong Cheddar, which was crowned Britain's Best Cheese for 2007. <br /><br />Now, I've never had the stuff, because it isn't exactly widely exported. (Hunch: that will soon change.) But according the <a href="http://living.scotsman.com/food.cfm?id=1560992007">Scotsman newspaper</a>, here's what the judges said about Seriously Strong Cheddar:<br /><br />"Strong forthright confident cheddar flavour with very distinct sweet notes. Balanced with a distinct but not an overriding aggressive acidity. The finish is mouth-tingling but not vigorously aggressive. It is exactly what's on the packet - seriously strong and seriously good."<br /><br />That sounds pretty great to me, and I may have hop a on plane to go try some.
