Failed AFD

This article's AFD debate agreed to keep it. Johnleemk | Talk 11:01, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Origins of name

I went to a cheese factory in Cheddar once, and they told me that the cheese was not named after the village, but named due to the fact it underwent cheddaring. This process was named after the village, but the cheese was not. This seems to contradict what the article says... Is it true? 82.45.1.175 03:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cheddaring

We need a specific information in the "cheddaring" section. What is it like and how is it done? Frosty 11:59, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of how/why cheddaring improves flavor

The current explanation of cheddaring explains only the mechanical process of stacking curds, and not how this process impacts the flavoring or how it gives cheddar cheese its distinctive flavoring. This seems like a major selling point (it is why I visited this page) and should be addressed in the cheddaring section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dawaegel (talk • contribs) 18:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't agree more. The explaination of the cheddaring process is lax, yet cheddaring redirects to this page. Further the content within the cheddaring section is confusing to me. It describes the cutting of the blocks into a size that can fit the mill, but there is no discussion of an actual milling phase. I wish this page had some sources, so I knew where it came from.... -Verdatum (talk) 20:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whey pH

"By the end of the setting, the acidity of the whey will be somewhere between .15 and .17." That pH is somewhere between sulfuric acid and battery acid. I somehow doubt cheddaring gets that wild. Perhaps 6.15 to 6.17 is meant? I am not in a position to know what was meant. 137.79.95.201 (talk) 16:23, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Manufacturing of cheddar cheese → Manufacturing of Cheddar cheese — capitalisation required for a cheese that is named after a place i.e. Cheddar. --Simple Bob (talk) 11:51, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose "Cheddar cheese" is not a proper noun and does not get capitalized (the only time it would is "Cheddar" if it is the start of a sentence). TJ Spyke 16:05, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cheddar cheese is named after the village of Cheddar, so in common with other cheeses named after places such as Swiss, American, Colby, Brie and other such cheeses it is capitalised. I'm sure people would never dream of writing "swiss" or "american". --Simple Bob (talk) 17:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about the food, not the region. If there was a similar article on hamburgers (named after a area in Germany), the article would be at "Manufacture of hamburger" rather than "Manufacture of Hamburger"). None of those other examples are capitalized (you would write "I like swiss cheese", not "I like Swiss cheese"). TJ Spyke 23:24, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose "cheddar" is a common noun in English, thus not capitalized, like "champagne" (though the EU does try to make it a Proper Noun) and "port", etc. 70.29.209.121 (talk) 03:52, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move - In English we capitalize items named after proper nouns. English tea, Chinese food etc... --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 02:27, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Move, but the new title should be Manufacture of Cheddar cheese, per WP:NC#Article title format (use nouns). I agree that Cheddar should have a capital C. (As should Champagne, for that matter). Tevildo (talk) 22:52, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
