![]() For traditional cloth-bound cheddars lard is applied to the outside of the cloth. The cloth and lard allow the cheese to breathe and protect it from damage and excessive weight loss due to evaporation (drying) during aging, as a natural rind forms on the cheese under the cloth. During the course of maturation the lard itself is eaten away by molds, leaving a dry, canvas-like surface in its wake.

I wasn't aware on the process in developing cheese before. I really find this surprising and amazing. I don't think that I'll ever need this information in the future, but it's good to learn something new every once in a while. I guess that mold is something needed to develop the taste of a cheese. It's always good to gain more knowledge about different things in life.
