  • Mature cheddar - Mature cheddar has a sharp, earthy, pungent, creamy taste which is best to make a cheese sauce. You can also use mild cheddar if you prefer the mild flavour.
  • Stringy cheese - To make an extra stringy cheese sauce, add 50g of shredded mozzarella cheese and 100g cheddar cheese. 
  • Turmeric, mustard and garlic  they add a glorious colour and extra flavour.
  • Curry powder for a hint of heat, resulting in a delicious cheesy curry sauce for chips
  • Try adding Blue cheese in the mix such as Stilton for a bite
  • The sauce would be equally delicious on sweet potato or other vegetable fries.
