About this product: The use of pork lard on cylindrical cheddar truckles dates back hundreds of years. The process for wrapping West Country Farmhouse Cheddar cylinders after pressing differs between cylinders and blocks. In the case of cylinders, the cheeses are sealed by bandaging them in muslin cloth that has been dipped in melted lard or by smearing this onto the outside of the cheese which is then bandaged. This bandaging helps form a hard rind on the cheese during maturation so allowing the cheese to breath, yet preventing mould penetration. This bandaging is removed prior to sale. The use of lard is, to date, the most suitable fat for the job, most importantly it does not taint or spoil the cheese as it ages through its maturation.
