Coleraine Cheddar is a brand of cheddar from the United Kingdom, made in Portadown, Northern Ireland. It is a pasteurized cow's milk cheese with a firm hard paste and a creamy taste. The brand name points to Coleraine, where the line began, while the cheddar itself is made in Portadown. Shoppers meet it as a block, not as a clothbound farmhouse wheel. Mild, medium, and mature versions are sold under the same brand.
