Cheddar cheese is a widely popular cheese originating from England, specifically the village of Cheddar in Somerset. Made from cow's milk, it typically contains milk fats, protein, calcium, and trace vitamins like vitamin A and B12. Its flavor profile ranges from mild to sharp depending on its aging process, which may last several months to years. While cheddar provides nutrients essential for bone health, such as calcium and phosphorus, it is also relatively high in saturated fats and sodium, making moderation key in a balanced diet. Available in both white and orange varieties, the latter is often colored with annatto, a natural plant-based dye. Cheddar's versatility fits seamlessly into various cuisines, from British classics like ploughman's lunch to global favorites like macaroni and cheese, burgers, and sandwiches. Its rich taste and adaptability make it a staple in numerous dishes, offering both culinary delight and nutritional contributions.
