Cheddar Cheese And Cheese Made From Skim Milk

Cheddar cheese is a hard, pale yellow to orange cheese originating from England. It is made from cow's milk, using a process that includes curdling the milk with rennet and then aging the curds. Cheese made from skim milk is a similar product with a lower fat content.

These cheeses are primarily used for their distinct savory flavor and creamy texture. They are commonly found in snack crackers, baked goods, sauces, dips, and as a topping for various dishes.

Cheddar cheese and cheese made from skim milk are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Like other dairy products, they contain lactose, which can affect individuals with lactose intolerance.
