NO criticism of Adamantius (except when he doesn't answer my mail, poke,
poke!) or anybody else intended-- but in the interest of keeping us all on
the same page as far as references: statements by people on this list are
still tertiary sources, or at best secondary sources, unless they are
including portions of primary sources. As tertiary and secondary sources
go, the members of this list can be classified as very reliable; certainly
more reliable than the general run of commercial cheese maker's web sites.

Anyway, I'm going to go pursue the reference about Cheddar from the
citation given on the web page:
Scott, R. (1986) In: Cheesemaking Practice, 2nd edition, Elsevier Applied
Science Publishers Ltd., London, UK.
Actually, there was a 3rd edition out in 1998, and I'll be requesting it.
