And “cheddar cheese” from Wisconsin never gets closer than a few thousand miles from Cheddar Gorge.

Cheddar isn't a Protected Designation. So, if you want to make Cheddar in Swansea? No problem. Edinburgh? No problem. Dublin? Pretoria? Atlanta? Christchurch? All fine.

"West Country Farmhouse Cheddar" is protected, but that's quite a mouthful so few people care, and that still only requires you made it in roughly the correct way (you need to use local milk) and in roughly the correct part of the UK (maybe an hour or two drive from Cheddar).
