Cheddar cheese is a firm, cow’s milk cheese that originated in the English village of Cheddar. Known for its creamy texture and tangy flavor, it ranges from mild to sharp depending on its age, with aging often intensifying its rich taste. Nutritionally, cheddar is an excellent source of calcium, supporting bone health, and provides high-quality protein essential for muscle maintenance. It also contains vitamin A and essential fats, but it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, making moderation important. Cheddar’s versatility makes it a staple in various cuisines, from British classics like Ploughman’s lunch to American favorites like cheeseburgers and casseroles. Whether enjoyed melted, sliced, or grated, cheddar adds depth to dishes while offering nutrients—though its caloric density suggests pairing it with a balanced diet.
