Description

Cheddar is a popular, versatile hard cheese made from cow’s milk, originating in the English village of Cheddar, and characterized by its firm, dense texture, which comes from the “cheddaring” process of stacking and draining curds. Its flavor and texture vary with age, from smooth and mild when young to crumbly and sharp when aged. Cheddar is widely consumed and used in various dishes, including sandwiches, burgers, and macaroni and cheese, and can be white, yellow, or orange due to added annatto.
