Raw cheddar cheese is a naturally aged, unpasteurized cheese made from fresh cow’s milk, evoking a rich and tangy flavor profile often associated with traditional American and British cuisines. Unlike its pasteurized counterpart, raw cheddar retains a higher concentration of beneficial enzymes and probiotics, which may support gut health and digestion. It is densely packed with nutrients, including calcium, protein, Vitamin B12, and healthy fats, contributing to strong bones, muscle repair, and sustained energy. However, its unpasteurized nature means it carries a higher risk of bacterial contamination and should be consumed carefully, especially by pregnant individuals or those with weakened immune systems. Additionally, raw cheddar is high in saturated fat and sodium, making moderation key to enjoying its health benefits without negatively impacting heart health. A versatile addition to meals, raw cheddar pairs well with fruits, nuts, or whole-grain crackers and is a staple in countless recipes.
