What it is
Cheddar cheese is a hard, natural cheese typically made from cow's milk. It is produced by adding a bacterial starter culture to milk, then adding rennet to coagulate the milk. The curds are then cut, cooked, and pressed into blocks.
Why it's used
Cheddar cheese is used as a primary ingredient or flavoring in a wide variety of foods. It adds a savory, sometimes sharp, flavor and a creamy texture. Common uses include pizzas, pasta dishes, sandwiches, crackers, and baked goods.
Health notes
Cheddar cheese is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. Like other dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium. The FDA considers cheddar cheese to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for consumption. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cheese and its components, but specific evaluations for cheddar cheese may vary. Evidence on the health effects of moderate cheese consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others highlighting concerns related to saturated fat.
Allergen info
Cheddar cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
