Well, yes I can see that there are certain similarities. But to me Wensleydale tastes a little more like Cheshire cheese than Cheddar. I guess when compared to French cheese they probably all taste more similar than different. But that just means they all have an English taste, not that they all taste of Cheddar. I was just pointing out that Wensleydale is not a variety of Cheddar. They are two distinct English cheeses.
