About Cheddar
Cheddar cheese, originating from Somerset, England, is one of the most popular and versatile cheeses worldwide. Made from cow's milk, it undergoes a unique aging process that gives it a rich, sharp flavor and firm texture. Cheddar varies in color, ranging from pale white to bright orange depending on whether annatto coloring is used. It is rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function, while also being a source of vitamins like A and B12. However, cheddar is high in saturated fats and calories, so moderation is key to maintaining a balanced diet. This cheese is a staple in British and American cuisines, often found in sandwiches, sauces, or baked dishes. When choosing cheddar, aged varieties typically offer more complex flavors and may contain less lactose than younger ones, making them a better choice for those with lactose sensitivity.
