What it is
Cheddar cheese is a hard, natural cheese that originated in the English village of Cheddar in Somerset. It is made from cow's milk, where cultures and rennet are added to curdle the milk, and the curds are then pressed and aged.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add cheddar cheese primarily for its distinct flavor and texture. It is a popular ingredient in a wide variety of prepared foods, including seasoning mixes, soups, sauces, and snack foods, providing a savory, often sharp, taste.
Health notes
Cheddar cheese is considered a food ingredient, not a food additive, and is generally recognized as safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. As a dairy product, it is a source of protein and calcium. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend dairy consumption as part of a healthy eating pattern.
Allergen info
Cheddar cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
