One of my aunts (of Swiss German origin) said she used to get it when
she visited England in the late 1950s and early 1960s. She said it
wasn't Cheshire and it wasn't Cheddar, both of which she knows quite
well. I've looked for it repeatedly, but even the cheese shop in Goodge
Street (back when they were solely a cheese shop) didn't have it and
couldn't order any.
