I buy inexpensive hard cheese from different manufacturers. Recently I began to notice that most types of such cheese have honey notes.
It seemed to me that the cheese contained honey, but this was not written on the label.
Is there something wrong with my taste or is this evidence of a violation of cheese making technology?
Maybe they add cheap honey?

Cheap honey is cheap because it’s been adulterated with cheap non-honey syrup
Is what the article I just posted says. Good summary.
My point is that manufacturers can throw all sorts of cheap stuff in that tastes like other stuff.
