Cheddar cheese is a versatile and flavorful cheese originating from the English village of Cheddar, dating back to the 12th century. Made primarily from cow’s milk, it undergoes a unique aging process that develops its rich, sharp taste and firm texture. The color ranges from white to orangish-yellow, depending on added annatto. Cheddar is rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, contributing to strong bones and muscle health. However, it also contains saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Often used in dishes like mac and cheese, sandwiches, and soups, it’s a staple in Western cuisine. While aged cheddar offers a deeper flavor profile, mild cheddar provides a smoother, creamier taste. Ideal for occasional indulgence, cheddar can enhance a balanced diet when paired thoughtfully with whole grains and vegetables.
