We're thinking about applying to set a World Record, and we'd love our cheese-loving community to be part of it!

Nothing's official yet. We'd need to apply and get approved first. But before we do, we want to know:

Would you show up and help us make cheese history?

Sunday Fun Day Fact:

Cheddar gets its name from the English village of Cheddar, where the cheese was traditionally aged in nearby limestone caves, which hold a steady cool temperature and humidity.

The process that gives it its sharp bite is called "cheddaring": the curds are stacked and turned to squeeze out whey, which builds acidity and that dense, flaky texture. As it ages, proteins break down into amino acids, and you'll sometimes find tiny crunchy crystals in a well-aged block. Those are tyrosine or calcium lactate, and they're a sign of a properly aged cheese, not spoilage.

A mild cheddar is typically aged around 2 to 3 months, while extra sharp can go 12 months or more, and some vintage wheels reach 5 years or beyond, getting nuttier, drier, and more intense along the way.

Every batch of our curd starts the same “whey”: fresh milk, a little patience, and two hands. No automated vats, no assembly line. We make it in small batches so we can watch, stir, and ensure quality in every step.

You can hear the difference. That squeak when you bite into a fresh curd? That's the real thing.

Small batches mean we're not cutting corners. Each one gets the attention it deserves, and you get curd that's mild, milky, and made right here in Woodhull. Thank you all for the love!

Stop in, grab a bag, and taste the difference hand-made makes.

Friday Fun Fact:

Fresh cheese curds squeak because of their elastic protein structure: the casein network rubs against the enamel of your teeth. The squeak is loudest within about 12 hours of being made, and it fades fast as the curds age and the proteins relax. That's why the best curds are never refrigerated before you eat them, since chilling dulls the squeak even sooner.

Happy Friday, and happy squeaking.

Sunday Funday Fact: Cheddar gets its orange color from annatto, a seed from a tropical plant, not from the milk. Back in the day, cheesemakers added it so cheese from cows grazing on summer grass (naturally golden) looked consistent all year. Now people swear orange tastes sharper. It doesn't.

Orange or white cheddar, which side are you on?
