An exceptionally tasty cheese
This is a delicious cheese, bite is a good description, it has loads of flavour. We will be buying this again having added it to our Christmas cheeseboard.
So worth the money
As someone who was born and bred in Dorset I seem to remember that 50 odd years ago cheese was like this. Warm on the palette, long lasting taste. Maybe I'm imagining this, but really excellent cheese. Well worth the money. Great with Port
Not Strength 5 as claimed on the label
The picture says this is Strength 5 cheddar but, as another reviewer said, what you receive clearly states Strength 3 on the packet. What with social distancing and bag free deliveries these days, by the time I got to read the packet, the driver was long gone so no way of returning it. The taste is indeed not very strong, certainly not what I expect for something described as Vintage cheddar. It's an OK cheese but tastes odd to us, it is very sweet and has a weak, almost non existing flavour. I will not buy it again. I also very much resent being mislead by the label!
A lovely cheese
A lovely cheese - strong (although not quite as strong as I expected for a vintage), smooth, and creamy.
Has this changed recently?
Recently, costal bite has been rated strength 3, not the 5 I remember, and as illustrated. Has the product been changed, or is it being incorrectly rated?
Terrific cheddar--distinctive taste.

Will be always on shopping list.
Delicious! At last I have found a cheddar with the lovely little crunch. Have been buying from another supermarket. I just happened on it, so maybe description isn't clear. Bite could mean strength of taste. Needs to have the word crunch in it.
Tasty?
Yup, sure is tasty and nicely crumbly, Good in salads.
Delicious, worth the money.
Tried this because I like the lactic acid crunch that occurs with some mature hard cheeses and I buy the Tesco finest Red Leicester. This is a delicious mature cheese which doesn't burn despite being strength 5. Nice crunchy texture , like the finest Red Leicester, and lovely with fresh crusty bread. Limit other flavours like pickle so you can taste it but watch the calories, it's rather moreish. Made a lovely Ploughman's.
Super tasty
This is an excellent eating cheddar - super tasty with a bit of a crunch. Please don't waste it on cooking.
