Mexicana Cheddar Cheese

Mexicana Cheddar Cheese is a popular spicy cheese variant produced in the United Kingdom by Norseland Ltd. It is widely recognized for combining British cheddar with a secret blend of bell peppers, jalapeños, and chili spices, making it one of the UK's top-selling spicy cheeses. The product shown is part of the Ilchester Cheese Advent Calendar, a seasonal product curated by the Ilchester brand, which is known for its heritage in blending traditional cheeses with adventurous ingredients.

The brand originates from Somerset, England, where the Ilchester Cheese Company was founded in 1962. It pioneered the concept of blended cheese. Today, the brand is owned by Norseland Ltd, the UK subsidiary of TINE SA, Norway’s largest dairy cooperative. While the brand has deep roots in British dairy tradition, its strategic growth and ownership are backed by Norwegian expertise in dairy production and international distribution.
