Annatto is not added to cheddar as a "colouring" and it definitely is not "artificial"

Annatto is a spice. Its scent is described as "slightly peppery with a hint of nutmeg" and flavor as "slightly nutty, sweet and peppery". Americans add Annatto NOT as a coloring, but because it is a flavoring that compliments the natural flavor of cheddar, which is described as nutty. The annatto gives the cheddar a stronger sweet and nutty flavor that Americans prefer. The color of Annatto just happens to turn the cheddar orange. Saying that Annatto is added as a coloring to cheddar is as silly as saying turmeric is added as a yellow coloring to mustard. Further, to call a natural spice an "artificial coloring" is way off base. This article was clearly written by a British person who does not have a clue as to what annatto is or why Americans add annatto to cheddar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.76.30.40 (talk) 22:23, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard anyone describe cheddar as tasting "nutty". --Jimv1983 (talk) 06:33, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jimv1983 sorry to contradict you but the PDO for Westcountry Farmhouse Cheddar states West Country Farmhouse Cheddar has a NUTTY, full, rounded flavour with a hint of sharpness. And being Somerset born and bred (I was brought up 2 miles from Cheddar) a nutty taste is definitely what I found in good cheddar. Domdeparis (talk) 14:41, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What do you even mean by nutty? I've never heard anyone describe cheese of any kind as "nutty". I consider "nutty" to mean resembling the flavor of nuts. If that's what you get from cheese, especially cheddar, then something is wrong with that cheese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimv1983 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

'Nutty' is a term used within the cheese and flavouring industry as a way of describing a particular aspect of flavour, i.e., it is used to describe one particular impression one gets upon eating the cheese.

The term is also used within the wine industry.

"Bitter" taste inaccuracy

"...sometimes sharp-tasting (i.e., bitter[1])" is a misunderstanding of the linked article. Sharpness is best described as tangy or perhaps umami (umami would need a citation IMO). The study is not saying that chedder cheese tastes bitter. The study says that as cheese ages it's sharpness and it's bitterness can increase. They are separate flavours are caused by separate compounds.Billyoffland (talk) 18:42, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I too was surprised to see it described as bitter. Among the five tastes, sharp is going to be sour and a bit umami. It's not bitter unless it's a poor batch. --Aranae (talk) 01:35, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
