How can you put this map and not link to buy every one?! I’m so hungry, I shouldn’t be here.

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This is a golden opportunity for some enterprising British soul to start a "cheese of the month" club, shipping internationally, where each month features a specialty from a different party of the UK.
I would totally sign up for that.
I didn't realize the Brits made so much blue cheese.
If you mean the US, IIRC, we're in the process of "closing a tariff loophole" where people sending small shipments were exempt from tariffs, which I understand contributed to Temu and Shein doing well because -- unlike importers who imported in bulk -- they didn't have to pay tariffs if they shipped directly to customers.

Hmm. Looks like that got backed out, at least temporarily.
Trump Reinstates ‘De Minimis’ Tariff Exemption For Shipments Under $800—Boosting Shein And Temu
And we do have tariffs on cheese. Back around Brexit, the UK attempted to specifically negotiated a "mini-free trade agreement" just for cheese, as I recall.
The U.K. is keen to access the American digital services sector as well as artificial intelligence, while it has outlined aims to reduce trade barriers for British car manufacturers, ceramicists, and producers of the likes of....Cheddar cheese, which currently receives a 17.6 percent levy at U.S. customs.
The negotiations weren't successful.
Hmm. It looks like Canada has far more enormous tariffs on British cheese:
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68107263
Since the beginning of the year, UK cheese exporters have seen a 245% tariff placed on British cheese going to Canada, impacting prices.
So... someone in the UK could start a cheese-of-the-month club, and avoid tariffs? Shipping would still be a bitch, though. Climate control would be the worst enemy, giving shipping times across the pond. Unless it's shipped express, which would make the service prohibitively expensive.
Guess I'll just have to come over there myself and eat all your cheese.
I don't see Red Windsor on there, which instills grave doubts as to the merits of this map.
I really want more information on this wiki page, it's nice that it explained the marbling is from mixing in red wine or porto, but would be nice to know more about how it originated, when, etc.
There will be a bloke somewhere on that map that has travelled all over the country to taste all of them.
Lmao UK thinks they've got the "real cheddar".
What is "real cheddar"?
I'm just making a joke about the number of times a strong Cheddar shows up as a regional specialty, including "Seriously Strong Cheddar".
EDIT: To clarify, real to add emphasis not designate unique identity, I can see how that was confusing mb
I mean, "Cheddar", the place where the cheese assumedly originated is in the UK.
Ah, what are the summers like in Seriously-Strong-Cheddar?
There's also Caerphilly cheese, which might be the best I've ever had
Caerphilly is featured on the map though
Oh ok I see it now. Was looking for "caerphilly" not "traditional Welsh caerphilly".
I don't see shropshire blue?
Why is the cheddar so orange?
Lol that is so silly, the cheese map for the US just says AMERICAN CHEESE across the whole thing, much superior.
Why can't everyone else be like us.

Edit it’s so silly I’ve got a couple upvotes and you’ve got none when my eagles are in sarcastic agreement with you
Actually I can imagine it being quite suited for cookie cutting
Yeah 'muricans are just more practical than other folks, that is why we made our country a practical shape to slap various forms of sugar down onto in order to finely divide and lather in strategic reserves of butter.
What about California Blue?
