Add article description

Dorset Drum was a small farmhouse cheddar made in Dorset, England. The cheese was of a medium-strong flavour and the clothbound truckle was usually matured for between 6 and 9 months. They varied in size from 400g to 2kg but were always cylindrical in shape, hence the name.

The cheese was produced by Denhay Farm near Bridport in west Dorset.[1] Production ceased and the last stocks were maturing in 2013. There is an export black wax-coated cheddar bearing the same name, but it is not the true Dorset Drum.[2]
