Applewood is a traditional farmhouse Cheddar from Ilchester. It also goes by the name of Applewood smoked cheddar. This dense semi-hard cheese was first invented in 1965 in Somerset, England.
Applewood is not actually smoked but given an artificial smoky flavouring with a dusting of paprika for a golden-amber appearance.
