I wonder why?

Well, given the small selection on that web site, it's probably only a
fraction of what they actually sell in the stores.

English Cheddar, given how famous they are.]

They are perhaps more likely to sell Canadian and/or Israeli Cheddar.

Don't laugh, but I saw in a newspaper somewhere recently that our
Canadian Cheddar label is about to be attacked.

A quick web search couldn't pull up any reference...

No surprise, really, as it all makes no sense. But neither did
Danish, Dutch and Israeli cheddar, all of which I have bought over the
years. The Israeli cheddar was in a cheese spread, but the
manufacturer apparently also made hard cheddar cheese.

It's all rather a long way from Somerset. But Somerset gets its own
back by making "Brie". ;-)

But what is "the original"? If there was ever only one recipe, it has
been well and truly lost.

Very little now separates any kind of cheddar from a great many other
hard cheeses from all over the world. Wherever it comes from, it is a
almost always a mediocre and particularly undistinguished cheese.
