Pilgrims Choice is a brand of cheddar from the United Kingdom. It is made from cow's milk and sold as a pressed block for the table and the kitchen. Mature and extra mature styles are the common ones, and both have a firm, close texture with no rind. A milder block is creamy and smooth. A stronger block is sharper, drier, and more savory on the tongue.
