Wedginald was a 20 kilogram wheel of English cheddar cheese, made famous in 2007 when its producers broadcast its maturation process on the internet.[1] The livestream went viral receiving national and international attention.
Wedginald was produced by Westcountry Farmhouse Cheesemakers of Westcombe Dairy, Evercreech, near Shepton Mallet, Somerset.[2][3] The company set up a website, humorously titled Cheddarvision that livestreamed the cheese's maturation. The name "Wedginald" was arrived at after a naming contest on the site as a humorous portmanteau of "wedge" (as in a wedge of cheese) and the given name Reginald.[4]
