I chatted with the manager of the creamery and he rather agrees with us on adulteration however he excused himself from the act by explaining that no organisation could refuse an order for 40 tons of Leicestershire lookalike flavoured with whateverberries just because the customer is a philistine. I also took him to town on colouring, in this case it was the whey butter (the flavour of which I prefer, and it is cheaper). He explained that they did not colour the butter but as it was made from the whey used in cheese production it had some residual colour from whatever lookalike the cheese producing it had been. The post Leicester butter is often quite orange in colour.
My Scottish two quarters expects cheddar to be orange too as it is usually coloured so with carotene. My incestuously Yorkshire half expect the unadulterated stuff (which must surely be less expensive to make if for no other reason).
