Spring and summer produced orange cheese while the winter and fall (eating hay) produced white to pale yellow. The orange stuff was considered healthier because of the higher butterfat. So to eliminate variations and in order to always have the 'good' stuff, cheddar was died orange. Why this is the case with cheddar and not other cheese, I don't know.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580167670240726988noreply@blogger.com
