I've attached an excel sheet of the differences between how I make the different English hard cheeses.  You will probably need to use the cheddar video as a template ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwpCCPtwSkw ). It will probably throw up more questions than it answers, but such is the nature of cheese.  I'll answer where I can.

This is my own personal take on the cheeses - if anyone has a different set of criteria I'd love to know.

The lower the pH the more acidic and crumbly the cheese as a rough guide.

The more you turn / stack the cheese in the vat the smoother it will be.

Thanks Rob, great side by side comparison. Goes to show how slight differences can make a completely different cheese type. Cheese 4u

A nice table. Very useful.
Thanks for that and a cheese from me.
