cheddars

English village cheeses

Cheddars is the plural of cheddar, a firm, sharp-flavored cheese originally from the English village of Cheddar.

The word rarely appears in plural since cheddar is typically a mass noun—you buy cheddar, not cheddars.

The plural might describe varieties: We sampled several aged cheddars from Vermont.
