What it is
Cheddar cheese is a popular hard cheese, originally from England. It is made from cow's milk through a process of curdling, pressing, and aging. The aging process gives it its characteristic sharp flavor.
Why it's used
Cheddar cheese is used to add a distinct savory flavor and creamy texture to a wide range of foods. Common applications include snacks like chips and pretzels, pasta dishes, and as a topping for various meals.
Health notes
As a food ingredient, cheddar cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium, but also contains saturated fat and sodium. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories, and the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. No specific controversies exist regarding cheddar cheese beyond general dietary advice.
