Cathedral City High Protein Mature Cheddar

Cathedral City is one of the United Kingdom's most iconic dairy brands, renowned for its range of cheddar cheeses. The brand's history traces back to 1966 when it was established in Wells, Somerset—the site of the famous Wells Cathedral that inspired its name and logo. For decades, it has been a staple in British households, known for its consistent quality and distinctive mature flavor profile.

The product shown is a specialized 'High Protein' variant of their half-fat mature cheddar, catering to modern health-conscious consumers. Most Cathedral City cheese is manufactured at the Davidstow creamery in Cornwall, using milk sourced from local Cornish farms. This facility is one of the largest and most advanced creameries in Europe, dedicated to large-scale cheddar production.

Originally launched by Mendip Foods Ltd, the brand moved through various corporate hands including Unigate and Dairy Crest. Today, Cathedral City is owned by Saputo Inc., a Canadian global dairy giant that acquired Dairy Crest in 2019. Under Saputo's ownership, the brand has expanded its international footprint, including launches in North American markets, while maintaining its deep-rooted British heritage and production base in the Southwest of England.
