ANADIAN Cheese is of the Cheddar type and belongs to the class known as the "hard" or pressed cheese, which includes such other varieties as the Cheshire and the Gloucester of England, the Dunlop of Scotland, the Edam and the Gouda of Holland, the Guyere of Switzerland and certain departments of France, and the Parmasan of Italy.
       There are several varieties of semi-hard cheese, the manufacture of which involves to some extent the principles employed in the manufacture of both the hard cheese and the soft mouldy cheese. To this class belongs the famous Stilton of England, the Roquefort of France, and the Gorgonzola of Italy, in all of which the growth of mould is encouraged to destroy the extreme acidity resulting from the method of handling the curd in its early stages.
       The Cheddar well deserves the pre-eminence which it has attained, for the following reasons:
      (1)  It is produced in larger quantities than any other cheese.
      (2)  Its production has spread further from the field of its origin than that of any other variety, thus proving its adaptability to varying conditions and circumstances.
      (3)  The process of its manufacture has been reduced to a more exact science than that of any other variety.
      (4)  It is the one variety peculiarly adapted for the factory system.
      (5)  It is suitable to be used as a food, and is thus unlike many other varieties which are used more as condiments.
