About Extra sharp cheese

Extra Sharp Cheese is a robust, tangy dairy product made primarily from cow's milk. This variety of cheddar originates from English cuisine, but today it is widely produced and enjoyed globally. Its distinct sharpness comes from an extended aging process, typically over 12 months, which enhances its bold flavor and crumbly texture. Rich in protein and calcium, Extra Sharp Cheese supports bone health and muscle maintenance. However, it is also high in saturated fats and sodium, so moderation is key for heart health. It contains essential vitamins such as B12 and A, contributing to energy production and vision. Ideal for snacks, cooking, or adding depth to dishes, Extra Sharp Cheese brings a delicious complexity to recipes while offering notable nutritional benefits alongside indulgent enjoyment.
