Applewood Smoked Cheddar Cheese (By Slice)

Applewood is a traditional farmhouse Cheddar from Ilchester. An English cheese, it also goes by the name of Applewood Smoked Cheddar. This dense, semi-hard cheese was first invented in 1965 in Somerset, England. Applewood is not actually smoked but given an artificial smoky flavouring with a dusting of paprika for a golden-amber appearance. The cheese can be crumbled or grated over pasta or melted on pork chops for that divine smoky taste. It also goes well with sweet apples and raisins.
