Cheddar cheese is a popular semi-hard cheese that originated in the English village of Cheddar. Made primarily from cow's milk, its production involves curdling, pressing, and aging to develop its distinctive sharp flavor, which can range from mild to extra mature depending on its aging process. Rich in protein and calcium, Cheddar supports muscle growth and bone health. It also contains essential vitamins such as vitamin A and B12. However, it is high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation, especially for individuals managing heart health or blood pressure. Found in cuisines worldwide, Cheddar is a versatile ingredient used in sandwiches, salads, sauces, and baked dishes, contributing creamy texture and robust flavor. Enjoyed responsibly, it can be part of a balanced diet.
