Applewood, or Applewood smoked cheddar, is a round, white smoke-flavoured Cheddar cheese that is manufactured by Norseland Limited (formerly Ilchester Cheese Company) in Somerset, England.
Applewood smoked cheddar is a fairly dense semi-hard cheese.
[1] The cheese is coated with mild paprika, giving it a golden-amber appearance.
The smoked flavour of the cheese does not leave a burnt aftertaste.
[citation needed] In 2019, Norseland Limited launched a vegan version of their Applewood cheese in collaboration with VBites in both pre-sliced packages and in blocks.
