It is now down to the public to choose which of these will be named the official British Cheese Board Cheddar Anthem.
Nigel White, secretary of the British Cheese Board, and one of the judges, said: “Britain may produce over 700 named cheeses, but this competition has proven beyond doubt that Cheddar is by far and away the nation’s favourite.
“It was a tricky job narrowing the entries down to a shortlist of five, and now we need the public to help us decide which is the most fitting anthem to this national treasure.”
The winning entry will receive two weekend passes to Alex James’ Food and Music festival taking place the first weekend of September. The winner will also receive a year’s supply of British Cheddars, supplied by British Cheese Board members.
