not to be disagreeable, but there is no cheddar like New York State cheddar, and yes, I've had Wisconsin and California and I am a happy camper with the local stuff.
Actually, whole milk is now listed as 3.2% butterfat, and our Holstein herd has a 4.0% butterfat average - better cows through better breeding. We're a grass farm here, poor dears have to walk out the back door and feed themselves every day. Right now they are all laying down, too exhausted to even stand up and eat. Stan has them on the paddocks that he seeded down last year.
