Cheddar cheese is a popular, semi-hard cheese originating from England, where it was first crafted in the village of Cheddar. Made primarily from cow’s milk, it undergoes an aging process that ranges from mild to sharp, affecting its flavor intensity and texture. Nutritionally, cheddar is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle growth and bone health. It also contains essential vitamins like vitamin A and B12. However, cheddar is high in saturated fat and sodium, which can impact heart health if consumed in excess. It offers moderate levels of phosphorus and zinc, contributing to immune function and cell repair. A versatile ingredient, cheddar appears in dishes across cuisines worldwide, from casseroles and sandwiches to sauces and baked goods. With its bold flavor and nutritional value, cheddar can be enjoyed in balanced portions as part of a varied diet.
