Cheddar cheese, a classic ingredient in Western cuisine, originated in the English village of Cheddar. Made primarily from cow’s milk, it is a firm, aged cheese that ranges in flavor from mild to sharp, depending on its age. Its creamy texture and rich taste make it a versatile choice for sandwiches, casseroles, and sauces. Nutritionally, cheddar is a good source of protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, which support bone health and energy production. However, it’s also high in saturated fat and sodium, which can be problematic if consumed in excess. For those monitoring their intake, reduced-fat versions are available. Cheddar can be an enjoyable addition to a balanced diet, especially when paired with fruits or whole-grain options.
