I hate those crunchy white bits and since i spotted them i find them in nearly every type of cheese i buy except cathedral city, so i tend to stick with that now, its on offer in asda at the minute0

Never tried the farmfoods cheese but the crunchy white bits are normal for mature cheese.0

I discovered the Farmfoods Extra Mature cheese a couple of months ago and I love it. For the price it is a bargain if you like strong flavoured cheeses like the Seriously Strong cheddar I buy when its on offer. Can't say I noticed any crunchy bits in my pack but it wouldn't have bothered me as I love the Cornish Cruncher from
M & S which you can get in 99p taster packs.Freebies Received: Supersavvyme bag, Olay moisturiser, Barbara Daly/Tesco Mascara, Seeds of Change Choccie, Yorkshire Tea Kenyan teabags, Tesco mobile sim cards x 2.

The crunchy bits are perfectly fine they are calcium deposits and will cause you no harm, they tend to be a result of the maturing process in some cheeses.
Not a fan of Cathederal City I find it a bit "rubbery" same with that seriously strong stuff, saldy no Farmfoods near me otherwise I would try this

probably has more to do with personal taste0 -
Anyone notice that mature cheese goes further? I always hated strong cheese, until the price went up and I realised you could use a LOT less!!We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!:dance: Mortgage Free Wannabe :dance:Overpayments Made: £5400 - Interest Saved: £11,550 - Months Saved: 240
