Cheddar cheese is a popular, versatile cheese originating from the English village of Cheddar. Made primarily from cow’s milk, it undergoes a unique “cheddaring” process, yielding a firm yet creamy texture. Its flavor ranges from mild to sharp, depending on its age. Rich in protein and calcium, cheddar supports bone health and muscle function, making it a nutritious choice in small quantities. However, cheddar is also high in saturated fat and sodium, which can impact heart health if consumed in excess. It is often enjoyed in British, American, and international cuisines, found in everything from sandwiches to casseroles. When including cheddar in your diet, moderation is key for balancing its nutritional benefits and potential drawbacks.
