Davidstow Cheddar is a brand of cheddar from the United Kingdom. The cheese is made in Cornwall, and it is a cow's milk block in the familiar British style. Makers press it and mature it, then sell it without a cloth rind. The paste is firm and pale to deep gold, with the clean break of a cheddar that has had time to rest. Shoppers meet it as a wrapped block, not as a grey farmhouse wheel.
